[SOLVED] Post installation issues with KDE 4.7.0

I reinstalled my machine (DELL Studio 540 PC) with Arch Linux 64 bit. I did an install using LVM2 and RAID (have 2 500 GB drives in my machine). Everything went fine with the installation and bootloader (grub2) but I'm having a few issues with KDE and grub2.
1. When booting my machine grub2 gives an error saying "error: fd0 not found" (twice). My machine does not have a floppy drive and has never had one. There is no option in the BIOS to turn floppy off. So why is grub2 complaining about it?
2. With KDE 4.7.0 thumbnails of pdf files are not generated anymore, they were with previous versions of KDE4. Anybody else have that issue with 4.7?
3. I have and Brother DCP-7045n printer in my network and when try to print from a KDE program (Koffice, Kate, Kwrite, Kile etc.), the margins are completely messed up. The print preview on the screens looks right but the actual print everything shift upwards to the right. So things on top of a page are cut off for example. Printing from Gnome/GTK apps (Acrobat Reader, Libreoffice etc.) do not show this behaviour. I 've had this issue with KDE4 since KDE 4.3. Here is the original ustream bug:
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=196590
Anybody got an idea how to fix this?
4. Skype is crashing on me on startup constantly several times before it finally runs. I've had this problem since the 2.2.x series got released? Anybody got a fix for that. I was hoping a reinstall would fix that problem (same with the printing issue) but no luck.
5. I'm using KDE's microblogging plasma app to check my twitter account but I can't get to remember my password. Everytime I log into I have to manually login to my twitter and kdewallet is running and has my password stored and everything. This one really pusles me.
6. The final issue I having and issue was also the reason why I wanted to reinstall my machine in the first place. I originally used KDEmod as my desktop but they stopped making KDEmod some time ago when they started working on Chakra. So I removed KDEmod and installed KDE from Arch directly. A nice feature of KDE4 is its ability to generate previews on folders containing images and videos. When I switched to KDE that feature stopped working. So I was expecting that with a fresh install that this work and it does except for folders containing jpeg files. If I have a folder containing only jpeg files no previews/thumbnails are generated on the folder but previews the jpeg files themselves are generated. Does anybody else have that problem with jpegs and folder previews?
Hope somebody can help me with these few issues...

Have you installed grub2 with that --no-floppy flag as described in:
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Grub2#BIOS_systems?

Nope. Is it selected in dolphin>settings>general>previews.

Well that won't be a solution, but you might use choqok instead - at least it stores the password.
To answer your first answer, yes I installed grub2 with the --no-floppy option as mentioned in the wiki. Regarding 2 I don't understand why that works for you then? I have all things turned on under previews (folder, video, jpeg etc.) but as mentioned in my first post I have no previews with pdf files and jpegs do generate on folder previews. Finally regarding 5 the microblogging plasma app worked fine on my old installation even after I updated to KDE 4.7.0. The password issue I'm having is on my fresh install.

[SOLVED] Post-installation issues with XFCE

I just installed Arch Linux on an old eee-1000H laptop with XFCE and Slim as login manager. I have a few post-installlation issues I just can't find out how to fix.
1. I'm using pulseaudio with XFCE and I would like to have a tray icon in the panel to control the volume etc. I know that there is the audio mixer plugin but that doesn't log into pulseaudio. I then installed pasystray-git from AUR and that seems to work fine but I can't get it to autolaunch at login. When I add it to the launcher it seems to start but it isn't showing up in the tray. I have to launch it manually after login then it shows up. What am i doing wrong or is this a bug?
2. I'm using kalu to notifications about updates etc. and it works fine but I can't perform updates from the drop-down menu in kalu I get an error saying:
Parsing /etc/pacman.conf ... ok
Creating kalu_updater... ok
Initializing kalu_updater... failed
Error: Failed to initialize: Authorization from PolicyKit failed
similar issue trying to launch for example gparted:
[af@andre-eee1000h ~]$ gparted_polkit
Error executing command as another user: No authentication agent found.
I have policykit installed and also policykit-gnome as well and it is running
[af@andre-eee1000h ~]$ ps x | grep polkit
2006 pts/0 S+ 0:00 grep polkit
and my user is added to sudo because I can launch gparted with sudo gparted. So what am I missing?

The autostart was a bit difficult in XFCE, I don't know why. maybe try to run it as a shellscript and redirect stderr, stdout and stdin all to /dev/null. I had some problems with strange broken pipes crashing applications under XFCE when run with autostart.
By the way, pasystray is not meant to control the volume, only to manipulate the connections between devices and streams.
I tried using volumeicon as well and I can't it to autolaunch when xfce starts either.

[SOLVED] Major weird issues with KDE/Qt apps and unicode

Hi, I've tried to search for my problem, but nothing has showed up, so if this has already been answered, please forgive me.
Anyway, I use KDE as my primary desktop environment with SKIM as my unicode input method. After installing SKIM and Japanese fonts back when I first set Arch up, I have never had any issues with inputting unicode or displaying it in any program, whether that be irssi running through Konsole, or the song titles in Amarok. That all changed this afternoon, somehow...
The only major changes I can remember making to my system today are the following:
1.) I installed Awesome Window Manager to check it out
2.) I installed a pkgbuild of urxvt
3.) I made an .Xdefaults file and added these lines to customize my urxvt
After messing around with these things, I decided that Awesome wasn't a suitable WM for me, went back into KDE, and removed the package. I noticed a few strange issues after that though:
1. Foreign characters refuse to display properly in any terminal emulator.
2. Foreign characters come up as jumble in Konqueror now as well, when they never did before:
3. SKIM refuses to let me input Japanese characters with Anthy in any KDE app. The option for Japanese just isn't there, even though I have it installed:
4. Foreign characters display perfectly as tags for songs in Amarok, but if the music file itself has foreign characters in it, the title is garbled and the track is unplayable:
5. SKIM works absolutely fine in non-KDE apps like Firefox:
As seen in the last example, my Japanese fonts are all installed, and SKIM is working as it should in any non-KDE app, suggesting that there are no problems on that end. The issue seems to be with something in KDE, but I have no idea where to begin fixing it. Furthermore, I have no idea what could have caused this issue in the first place. I don't see how installing a window manager or terminal emulator package could have screwed up my fonts, and the .Xdefaults file I wrote just contained config information for urxvt. Nothing else. I even ended up deleting that, but it did not fix my problem.
If you could be of any help, I'd really appreciate it. I have a lot of files with foreign characters in them, and being able to read them is essential.

I was just looking into locales, actually.

LC_ALL=
and locale -a brings up:
C
POSIX
en_US.utf8
Is there anything here that could be causing this issue?

Any Invalid Serial Number Installation Issue With PSE 12 - PE 12 Windows or Mac ?

http://forums.adobe.com/message/5711110#5711110
Today I went from Photoshop Elements 12 and Premiere Elements 12 tryouts to the purchased boxed versions that came with two installation discs. One of the discs was for Photoshop Elements 12 and Premiere Elements 12 Windows and the other for these versions on Mac.
On Windows 7 Professional SP1 64 bit desktop computer, I was hit with Invalid Serial Number for the installation of Photoshop Elements 12 which I did first. Tried 4X, double and triple checking to make sure this was not "user error". It was not. On the 5th try, the purchased serial number was accepted and the installation went to a successful completion.
Tonight a friend alerted me to reports of similar happening for a lot of Photoshop Elements 12 Mac users. See the link posted at the top of my post.
At no time did I see this problem with Premiere Elements 12 installation from the same disc as for Photoshop Elements 12 installation.
Afterward, I installed these programs with the same installation disc on my laptop computer Windows 8 64 bit, I did not have any problems with either installation.
At this time, I do not know if this Invalid Serial Number is elusive to Photoshop Elements 12 or not.
If anyone is experiencing this problem with Premiere Elements, please let us know.
From the link above, it would appear that Adobe is working on the issue.
Thanks.

Thanks for the reply.
In my case, I had the network firewalls and anti-virus disabled when I did the installs of Photoshop Elements 12 and Premiere Elements 12 on Windows 7 64 bit as well as Windows 8 64 bit.
I was fortunate in that a 5th try of the serial number entry for the Photoshop Elements 12 install on Windows 7 64 bit was successful, so I did not have to do the computer restart and retry of the install with the purchased serial number. But, good to keep in mind, just in case.
It is ironic...last time around I got caught up in the Shared Technologies issues with Photoshop Elements 11 and Premiere Elements 11 on Windows 8 64 bit, not Windows 7 64 bit. But, in that case, I did find my way eventually to a successful install on Windows 8 64 bit. This time around it was Windows 7 64 bit where the glitch occurred, but, for me, only for Photoshop Elements 12.
But, could you clarify...are you generalizing that Photoshop Elements 12 Mac Invalid Serial Number is due to server issues and Invalid Serial Number encountered by Photoshop Elements 12 Windows is "online - due to some firewall or network issues"?
Just getting prepared for if and when more questions on Invalid Serial Number might pop up in this forum.
Thanks.

A weird installer issue with xcode

This is a new macbookpro i bought only a few weeks ago. I installed xcode on it, then removed it due to the fact that i needed to put some really huge hd video files, which needed all the hard disk space i could muster. After moving the videos from my mbp to my external hd, i tried to install xcode again. However, xcode's mpkg won't open, no matter how many times i open it with installer. Other mpkgs and pkgs work fine. What's the problem?

Hi rhonnywhoop, and welcome to the Dev Forum!
rhonnywhoop wrote:

There's no such thing as a weird issue with Xcode after an uninstall-install again cycle. Almost anything can go wrong and weird is the rule, not the exception. But yes, most of the strange problems show up after the installation (e.g., Xcode won't open, Xcode starts up but gcc always fails, Interface builder won't read nib files, etc., etc.). If I needed disk space for a video, I'd probably get another drive before I'd uninstall Xcode, but then I use Xcode all the time. Plus it's too late for that advice, so I'll try my best to point you in the right direction.
A few questions:
1) Was there any message when the mpkg failed to open? Please post any such message for us;
2) Did you install from the DVD that came with your MacBook, or did you download a dmg from the Mac or iPhone Dev Center? If you haven't tried downloading the latest Xcode version yet, that might be worth trying;
3) Did you uninstall from Terminal, using the command given in the Xcode doc (e.g. /Developer/"About Xcode Tools.pdf"? If not, how did you uninstall the prior Dev Tools?
4) Is any entry made in one of your logs at the time of the failure? E.g., open Console.app (in /Applications/Utilities) and look for the most recent entries in install.log and system.log. If you find anything like that, please post it for us;
5) Have you tried any additional cleanup besides the recommended uninstall (question 3, above)? Based on case histories in this and other forums, the most powerful trick is to rename /Developer (e.g. to /OldDev). Other tips will be found by searching on terms like "uninstall" or "clean" in this forum.
In general, we can assume that since your previous installation was successful, the game is to restore your system to its past condition. This may seem like a no-brainer, but it might help to rule out irrelevant conditions as you try one thing after another. In fact, some developers have cleaned up by re-installing the entire system (needless to say, be sure to try restarting your system before resorting to anything that drastic!). On the other hand, some developers have reported that installing a more recent version of the Dev Tools (if any), can clean up a problem when repeated installs of the same system fail.
I hope something above will lead you to a solution. Several other developers who regularly contribute to this forum know much more than I do about installation problems. For example, if etresoft joins this thread, be sure to follow his instructions completely and before any others.

3) POst installation of SAPMEINT, SAPMII should have the preconfigured schedulers, Message listeners and data sources with SQL database. Also under role Role_SAPMEINT, navigation should have the configuration as MII Dashboard menu. We are not able to find any of these.
Our installation did not throw any errors or warnings.
Request to send your views on this.
Thanks.

Hi,
For ME system
First you have to install the NW CE and then CE Update Manager followed by JSPM.
Secondly install the WIP and ODS database(Creation of database, listener,tablespace,user, assigning the roles & previliges,)
Thirdly install the SAP ME application and then Update also.
Make the changes required in configtool>Instance>VM parameters JVM settings .Bounce the system for changes.
http://hostname:50000/nwa, Choose Configuration Management-> Infrastructure-> Application Resources
Create New Resource ->Deploy New JDBC Driver.(check whether you have uploaded the correct JDBC driverand check status)
Applying license
Running the WIP scripts with WIPUSER on WD5 database
Deploying the SAPME into the JAVA System i.e, VISPRISE 5.2 SCA file through JSPM
Before starting the deployment, you need to add a reference to the Classloader of the Security Provider
SAP ME 5.2 Clients installation
SAP ME 5.2 Client update
now stop and start the me~ear application under the path , operation mgnt>systems>stop&start-->filter on and search for
me and do it.
you have to execute the script "InitialLoad.ksh" and provide the admin password to work.
SAP ME ERP Integration (SAPMEINT) you have to deploy on MII through JSPM.
Deploy of the SAMEINTCTC need to be configured on the system MII and for configurations you can ask ME
Consultant for any decisions

3rd party app Installation issues with Leopard

I recently purchased a new MacBook Pro with Leopard installed. I have been trying to install (from original media) a number of applications (such as Office:mac 2004) that install and run well on my old G4 running Tiger. On Leopard the installer won't even open the package. I have checked permissions, am in an admin account, etc but nothing seems out of place. I also recognize that these installation packages are pre-Leopard but I can't imagine all my software is now obsolete. Anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks,
Doug

Yes I have checked selected applications that I am having issues with. Office:mac 2004 is being used by others on Leopard and Intel based platforms. Not sure if 100% of these users migrated the installation from a prior machine or were upgrading the OS so already had it installed but that is highly unlikely. A demo copy of this even came with my machine. Per advice from other discussion groups this was completely removed prior to trying to install my bought copy of the software. I had believed that Rosetta would allow most (all) apps that ran on a PowerPC under Tiger to work. Since I can't get the installer to even run, I can't tell if the app itself will work.
BTW, I am about to go back and reinstall Leopard to see if that solves the problem.

Any suggestions on how to fix installation issues with iPhoto & iMovie on used Mac mini?

I bought a used, mid 2011, mac min. The selller deauthorized all his applications and resotred it to factory settings for me. When I received it, I added myself as an administrator and deleted the dummy user the seller had created after restoring the OS. The first thing I wanted to do was install applications I already have on my iMac (also running OSX Lion). It would not install iPhoto or iMovie. It said these applications were assigned to a different apple id, the previous owner. I decided to erase the hard drive and reinstall Lion myself. I ran into some snags (due to my internet connection) and had to use recovery thumb drive, but it worked.
I successfully re-installed Lion on the newly formatted hard drive.
I still cannot install iPhoto and iMovie. It just give me an error now. Couriously, it installed Garage Band just fine. I haven't had any other issues with other applications I purchased on my other iMac.
Anyone have any suggestions, besides purchasing iPhoto and iMovie on the mac mini?

Ethernet cord connected to the router solved it. This is exactly what I had to do when I reinstalled the operating system. For some reason my wireless internet is highly inreliable. It drops out constantly. I've always had my iMac hard wired to the router, but I'll have to figure out a fix for this Mac mini. I can't have a 30ft ethernet cord running through the middle of my basement. Thanks.

Bootcamp windows 8.0 pro installation issue with early 2015 Macbook Pro

I am having this issue with installing Windows 8.0 pro (and 8.1 pro) on my early 2015 MacBook pro vs. Bootcamp. I have tried different method for multiple times and all failed. Any help is appreciated.
Hardware: (1) early 2015 MacBook Pro with 128GB (13 inches) , (2) Sony USB DVD burner. (3) Two 16 gb flash drive 2.0 version from two different manufactures
Software: (1) 8.0 Pro ISO on flash drive from Microsoft (I have two copies) (2) 8.1 Pro downloaded from Microsoft website.
Note - I was able to download the bootcamp supporting files successfully and copy to a USB flash drive.
Method 1 - Create the installation disk from ISO on flash drive and also tried copying ISO on hard drive (desktop)- failed.
I have a 16 GB flash drive (2.0V) connected
ISO is a valid 8.0 pro copy from Microsoft came on a flash drive.
I have the windows 8.0 pro ISO on a flash drive and plugged in.
Issue - It gets to around 50% of "Copying Windows files..." and then doesn't go any further. 8 hours later, still stuck at around 50%. I also tried to do the copy ISO from desktop. failed as well.
Method 2 - I repeat the above steps with Windows 8.1 ISO downloaded Microsoft website - failed. Stuck at 50% copying windows file for 9 hours.
Method 3 - I burned the Windows 8.0 pro ISO to a DVD and try to do the installation through a DVD instead. DVD was successfully created.
I was able to perform the partition. When the computer reboots, it starts the window installation. However, it got stuck at 7% forever. I tried this multiple times and failed.
Method 4 - I download a 8.1 Pro ISO from Microsoft website, I burned it to a DVD. Repeat method 3, Again, windows installation stuck at 7%.
Method 5 - I called Apple. - What they told me is pretty much repeat the above steps. Still failed.

The ISO file(s) being downloaded seem to be corrupted. Can you use Microsoft FCIV tool - https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/841290?wa=wsignin1.0 ?
The DVDs should be burnt at the recommended rate for the physical media. DU should be used for burning the DVDs.

SAP R/3 4.6 Installation issue with SAPMMC

Hi ALL,
Hi ,
We are installing SAP 4.6 C SR2 on AIX and Window environment.
Both CI and DB Instances are in AIX box and DI is on Windows env.

Now we are working on SAP Application Server Installation, We Configured SAMBA on AIX Boxes and able to communicate with AIX from Windows application servers.
During the Application Installations , we followed the domain install , we got some minor issues and we fixed those, finally the installation went fine and successfully.
Now we are facing one Issue with SAPMMC- When we try to start the sap from SAPMMC the status remains in "YELLOW" with "Running but dialog Queue info unavailable" Error, Even r3trans -d working fine and we are able to logon to the SAP system through Application Server and run
transactions .

I would really appreciate If any one provide some sugessions , on this issue.
Thanks in advance

Hi.
I've just carried out this architecture. You have to check 2 things:
1- Are your DB software levels the same? (AIX + Windows)
2- Have you checked connectivity from client to DB server?

Solved IOS 6 issue with headphone remote

Upgraded my Iphone 4S to IOS 6 and my Klipsch headphone remot would not work. Volume buttons worked, and the center button would start playing music, but it would not stop or pause the songs. I tried my original Apple earbugs with the remote and did not have any problems. The I used the Klipsch again, and now they work great.
Sounds strange, but that is what happened.

Hi All,
I was facing all sorts of issues with my earphone controls.
This solved my problem.
Double click home button. (press twice).This will show you all the apps that you have currently open.
Long click on the 1st app in the list [about 3 seconds]. This will make the icons wiggle and show a red minus sign on the left hand top corner.
Scroll [right] to see your music app (if you can't see it already).
Press the red minus sign. This will completely close the music app.
Restart your music app and things should be back to normal. [I also would close all other app in the same fashion, just in case, cause things like youtube apps use the controls on your earphones as well. ]
In short: - kill, kill-em-all and restart your music app.

But Table A957 which is passing against KOTABNR field is not pupulating with the Materials passing.
Can anyone please guide me why the Materials are not populating in the table : A957.

Hi,
I guess there might be some issue with VAKEY population.
All the key fields in A957 should be concated properly while populating VAKEY. (Leading zeros must be prefixed to the material)

R12 on Windows XP - Post Installation Issue

Folks,
I installed R12.0.3 on Windows XP machine on a VMware Worksrtation following hsawwan's instructons(thanks to hsawwan and all who contributed to that thread). Post installation checks were all successfully completed.
I logged in the first without rebooting and it gave me an error something like "the page you are trying to reach has been bookmarked...". So I rebooted the machine and now I get this error "An unhandled win32 exception occurred in FNDLIBR.exe[5640]".
Can someone help with this? thanks...

Hi,
"You are trying to access a page that is no longer active.

I also see Oracle Fulfillment Server VIS_myapps which is supposed to be automatic is also turned off. Some other Manual services are also turned off. Note: 420573.1 - Session Error Raised Direct After Login when Using Two-Letter Domain Segments

You do not need to start this service; you can even change the startup type to Manual. For other manual services, do not bother yourself about it we do not need to start it up.
Sorry but could you please tell me the path to view Apache log and Event Viewer?Apache log files can be found under $LOG_HOME/ora/10.1.3/Apache directory (search for access_log* and access_log*).
Event Viewer can be accessed from Control Panel > Administrative Tools.
