[SOLVED] "Server is already active for display 0" in Terminals

So far, my searches haven't yielded any solutions to this.
When my system starts, it boots to a console login prompt (no gdm, etc...) and I have 'startx' in my .bashrc to start my desktop. The desktop starts and functions fine (or so it seems).
Problem 1: Anytime I open a Terminal window (or open new tabs inside a Terminal) I am greeted with the following:
Fatal server error:
Server is already active for display 0
If this server is no longer running, remove /tmp/.X0-lock
and start again.
Please consult the The X.Org Foundation support
at http://wiki.x.org
for help.
xinit: Server error.
Sometimes the last line is:
xinit: unexpected signal 2
Usually I just ^C to get a working prompt and go about my business, but this is getting really annoying.
Problem 2: I use Guake terminal and have it set to autostart in my .bashrc, but it doesn't work until I manually open a Terminal window. And if I close that (manually opened) window, Guake stops working. If I open another one manually, it works again...etc. I have a hunch this is related to the first problem.
Any nudges in the right direction would be appreciated.

Server 2012 key activation for VMs that run on Server 2012 OEM license

Hi
My customer purchase a Dell Server with pre-install OEM Windows Server 2012 standard license, he created 2 VM and attempt to use key provided with physical host. It was fail with error message of 'Key is invalid'. Does customer need to obtain another
key for VM from Microsoft or Dell need to provide this?
thank you

Hi,
OEM key will not be recognized when trying to install a new system as it is not the standard format (25 bytes). As it is an OEM system you should suggest your customer to contact Dell for further help.

We want to activate Windows Server 2008 R2 on the system where trial version is already activated,

We want to activate Windows Server 2008 R2 on the system where trial version is already activated,

Hi,
Based on your description, I’m a little confused with this issue.
If you mean that convert the Windows Server 2008 R2 evaluation version to a full version, we can get following
details from this KB: Windows Server 2008 R2 and Windows 7 evaluation version
Question: Can you convert the evaluation version to a full version?
Answer: Although this conversion is not blocked, we do not support an upgrade from an evaluation version
to a full version or changing the product key to a full version key. Since there is no support for any type of upgrade you must do a install to new directory using non-evaluation media. If you change the product key to Full Version, the visual evaluation references
in Winver and as displayed in Slmgr /DLV output are removed, but the WLMS service remains on the system and the media retains its evaluation status.
Meanwhile, please refer to the following similar thread and check if can help you.

2008 R2 180 day Trial to Full
If just mean that extend Activation Grace Period, please refer to the following article.

Hi Timothy,
The account cannot be validated error was due to a glitch on our activation server that has been fixed now.
Please try using acrobat now and check if you are still facing the problem.

CORUAWFP "An application for posting goods movements is already active"

Hi Experts,
We have a strange message- we don't get it why this happnes so often.
In our system, production order confirmatins are done vai BAPI (BAPI_PRODORDCONF_CREATE_TT) and we are executing CO1P (CORUAWFP) every 10 minutes in order to avoid "Intended Goods Movements (GRs are suspendded, because of Lock sutuation)" .
The problem is when CO1P(CORUAWFP)) is kicked, sometimes a strange message is displayed ,"An application for posting goods movements is already active" , and the job ends abnormaly. We are sure we don't run CO1P (CORUAWFP) in parallel.
Why this situation happnens?
Thanks in advance.

The message simply means there are 2 or more programs being executed simultaneously accessing the same set of data & hence a locking occurs or the table lock is not getting released within time so that the next program can get a lock.
Get in touch with your system admin & ask them to monitor & let you know which programs are locking. Once you have that info, you can then change the schedule of the programs to prevent locking.

How to to display the JSP report in Application Server ? URL for displaying

Hi Experts,
Last week, we tried to change the memory of Response Cache and buffer Cache to increase the speed of the Excel report. But it didn’t work out.
And from the below link, I understood we can convert the oracle 9i report to excel by converting the Oracle 9i report to JSP report.
http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/reports/htdocs/getstart/demonstrations/index.html
I’ve converted the Oracle 9i report to JSP report and finding the way to display the JSP report using Application Server. I am trying to find out the REPORT URL of simple JSP report and using Reports Servlet . Right now I am trying to display the JSP report in Application Server.
Please suggest the URL for displaying the JSP report
Thanks & Regards

Hi,
You can directly call you .jsp file, http://<host>:<domain>:<port>/<jsp report path>?userid=<if your report requires userid>/<pwd>
Refer to metalink documents:
Frequently Asked Questions About JSP Reports [ID 301714.1]
Here --> Question 4. How do I execute a JSP report?
Also refer, How to deploy JSP reports [ID 220943.1]

The first time an iPhone is connected to iTunes that is used to sync with another iPhone or iOS device, you are prompted to transfer the backup for the other iPhone or iOS device or to set up the iPhone as a new iPhone.
The former does as provided - it transfers the backup for the other iPhone or iOS device to the iPhone replacing all data on the iPhone that is included with the backup being transferred. The latter does nothing allowing you to make your various selections for the iPhone sync preferences with iTunes.
This is designed to be done right away with a new iPhone.
If you don't have a backup for the iPhone with iTunes on your computer and don't have an iCloud backup that hasn't been updated since choosing to transfer the backup for your iPod Touch to the iPhone, the data that was on the iPhone is gone.

Can VI server automatically close access for clients' VIs, if one of clients is already connected?

Can VI server automatically close access for clients' VIs, if one of clients is already connected? and when first client closed reference, open access for other clients' VIs? I mean like when you use web publishing tools. If one user already uses front panel.. other just can wait until first one will finish.

Service Activation for CUCM as dedicated TFTP server

Hi all,
I have used CUCM as call controld and TFTP server but never used CUCM as a dedicated TFTP server.
Do you know what serivces should be enabled on CUCM box as a dedicated TFTP server?
Version is 8.6.2a and here is what I have:
Under "CM Services"
- only tftp service is activated
Under "CTI Services"
- none is activated
Under "Database and admin Services"
- all activated but not sure they are required
Under "Performance and Monitoring services"
- all activated
Under Secuirtiy Serves
- none is active as don't needed
Thaks,
Harry

If the server is only to be used as TFTP that is the only service you need to activate.
