[SOLVED]To wierd issues: chmod and file associasions

Hi,
Whenever i login to gnome i get an error message about .dmrc not being read properly due to some privelage issue. It tells me to make sure i own my home folder and set it to 644. So i use chmod to set the home folder and everything in it to 644 using this command in /home: chmod -Rv 644 username/
Then i get error messages like this:
chmod: can't access username/.thunderbird: no access
failed to change mode of username/.thunderbird to 0000 (---------)
Using nautilus i can change the privelages too, but the privelages for the owner also becomes the privelages for the group and everyone else :S So what do i do? :S
My second issues is that every file, wether it be .avi, .txt, .pdf, .mp3 or anything else, Gnome recognizes it to be textfiles all of them. So it tries to open my .avi files with gedit. If i change it to open with totem, totem will try to play my text files Might these two cases be related?

I have the same problem here.
Never seen that bug before, must be something with the new gnome packages.
u guys should have a look at this thread -> http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=385084

  • Software issue: Renaming and file paths

    Recently while cleaning up my MBP 15" I renamed my hard drive, and now all my paths are messed up and i cant seem to revert, I dont know if this has anything to do with key chains and the like, because I am an extremely new mac user. If anyone knows how to revert my machine to its prior state, that would be great. Thanks

    it sounds like you may have also tried to change your home folder or may have tried to rename your home folder from the user id you began with.
    Did you try to actually rename the hard drive volume or did you try to rename your basic user area?
    If you changed your user id, try logging in as the original one that you began using when you first set up the computer. All of your stuff that you created as that id or user is filed under that user name.
    The paths are not really messed up, and unless you deleted that user and moved stuff to trash, that user and stuff still exist on the computer.

    oh and if you use a creative cloud version of Lightroom it could also be that the logon to the cloud is messed up. Logging out and logging back in from preferences in the creative cloud app will fix that. Due to the release of Lightroom CC it appears that adobe's servers have been overwhelmed a bit And many people have strange problems that are solved by logging out and back in.

  • Reinstall system to solve beachball issue, then get files from time machine backup.. will the bring beachball back

    Hi,
    My iMac has a beachball issue to the extent that now it not even starts up anymore, I don't even get to the desktop screen. I plan to reinstall the system from with the CD I got when I purchased the iMac 2 years ago, then update the operating system to the latest version, and then get my files and programs back from my latest time machine backup, which was completed c. 2 weeks ago.
    1) Will this process generally work? I am running Mavericks 10.9, so the CD I want to install from will be an older version, but I then plan to upgrade to 10.9 before accessing the time machine files.
    2) Post upgrading the op system to the latest version, when I then get the programs and files back from time machine, will that bring also back the beach ball issue, or given that everything will be saved and installed 'cleanly' it will be alright?
    I am not a mac pro, so still learning, please forgive if I am not posting required info. Let me know what you need.
    Thanks

    1. Yes.
    2. Depending on what is causing the beachball, restoring may or may not bring the problem back.

  • Issue with Cloudstation deleting and modifying folders and files

    My office has 15 people who use laptops in the office. In the office we have one network share on the NAS (DS415+) which all users are mapped to. We have one folder (CUSTOMERS) which has 1000s of subfolders all named after our customers. Each customer folder typically has several jpg files. This CUSTOMERS folder is what we sync via cloud station. So on each users laptop, at the root of C:\ we each have a folder called CLOUDSTATION. In the office, employees are directed to use the network share. Out of the office, they are directed to use the Cloud Station folder.My understanding is any change made within folder CUSTOMERS is replicated across the network to our NAS. If someone is working out of the office but on wifi, we should see those changes at some point. If the person is not on wifi, the next time they connect to wifi...any...

  • My track pad highlights applications and files and then opens them without my doing anything. I run MacKeeper and having run the scan several times only get cleaning issues (5 -). Any ideas as MacKeeper Kromtech have not responded to my calls nor email.

    Folks
    I run an iMac. Today for some reason when I run the cursor across the screen applications and files are highlighted and then opened without me doing anything (no clicking etc) In fact print at times opens. As far as I can tell I have not changed any settings except to open firewall.
    I run MacKeeper and when I run a scan only a few cleaning items open. Safe and fast are as they should be. I run fix. If I again run the scan I get a few more but different claeing items to fix.
    I have rung MacKeeper several times without getting through. The occasion I did get through the bloke said he could not help and passed me to a higher authority. Needless to say the line dropped out after 30 minutes waiting.
    As it is the weekend and I do not live near an Apple store I am quite keen to get the problem identified and fixed so I can continue working.
    Your assistance please.

    Remove the "MacKeeper" scam product as follows. First, back up all data.
    "MacKeeper" has only one useful feature: it deletes itself.
    Note: These instructions apply to the version of the product that I downloaded and tested in early 2012. I can't be sure that they apply to other versions.
    IMPORTANT: "MacKeeper" has what the developer calls an “encryption” feature. In my tests, I didn't try to verify what this feature really does. If you used it to “encrypt” any of your files, “decrypt” them before you uninstall, or (preferably) restore the files from backups made before they were “encrypted.” As the developer is not trustworthy, you should assume that the "decrypted" files are corrupt unless proven otherwise.
    In the Finder, select
    Go ▹ Applications
    from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-A. The "MacKeeper" application is in the folder that opens. Quit it if it's running, then drag it to the Trash. You'll be prompted for your login password. Click the Uninstall MacKeeper button in the dialog that appears. All the functional components of the software will be deleted. Reboot.
    ☞ Quit MacKeeper before dragging it to the Trash.
    ☞ Don't empty the Trash. Let MacKeeper delete itself.
    ☞ Don't try to drag the MacKeeper Dock icon to the Trash.

  • Character Encoding and File Encoding issue

    Hi,
    I have a file which has a data encoded using default locale.
    I start jvm in same default locale and try to red the file.
    I took 2 approaches :
    1. Read the file using InputStreamReader() without specifying the encoding, so that default one based on locale will be picked up.
    -- This apprach worked fine.
    -- I also printed system property "file.encoding" which matched with current locales encoding (on unix cooand to get this is "locale charmap").
    2. In this approach, I read the file using InputStream as an array of raw bytes, and passed it to String contructor to convert bytes to String.
    -- The String contained garbled data, meaning encoding failed.
    I tried printing encoding used by JVM using internal class, and "file.encoding" property as well.
    These 2 values do not match, there is weird difference.
    For e.g. for locale ja_JP.eucjp on linux box :
    byte-character uses EUC_JP_LINUX encoding
    file.encoding system property is EUC-JP-LINUX
    To get byte to character encoding, I used following methods (sun.io.*):
    ByteToCharConverter btc = ByteToCharConverter.getDefault();
    System.out.println("BTC uses " + btc.getCharacterEncoding());
    Do you have any idea why is it failing ?
    My understanding was, file encoding and character encoding should always be same by default.
    But, because of this behaviour, I am little perplexed.

    But there's no character encoding set for this operation:baos.write("���".getBytes());

  • The server is available on your computer. Access the volumes and files locally.

    I have actually solved this issue. However, it was not easy to find support for this specific issue. Here's the problem and solution that worked for me.
    The Problem
    I had an issue with my Macbook Pro and Mac Pro connecting to each other. All of a sudden, I got this message "The server COMPUTERNAME is available on your computer. Access the volumes and files locally."
    The Solution
    After a bit of digging, I found this article:
    http://www.alexanderwilde.com/2011/04/os-x-lion-connection-error-with-afp-and-wo rkaround/
    Steps 1 and 2 of that article seemed to do the trick for me:
    Launch /Applications/Utilities/Terminal and do:
    sudo chmod o+w /Library/Preferences
    defaults write /Library/Preferences/com.apple.AppleShareClient afp_host_prefs_version -int 1
    Now restart your computer.
    From Finder, select an AFP server, or use “Connect To…”.  This will cause the AFP Client to create the full preferences file.
    Thanks to http://www.alexanderwilde.com for helping me solve this.

    Hi,
    I also encountered this error but in a different situation : after having restored my Lion installation from a Time Machine backup, everything was okay except that I couldn't connect to any disk attached to my Airport extreme.
    I searched for hours and even restored my backup a second time. The problem is specific to only one client since my Macbook was still able to connect to the AE. I ended up resetting all the settings on the AE and restoring them one by one.
    The problem appears when I restore the address range distributed by the AE's DHCP server to the one that was configured before.
    Thus the solution seems to change this address range. Must be something related to a network route or cache or anything like this.
    I hope it will help anybody who encounters this problem. Luckily it seems there are very few : the number of occurences of this problem in google is very low.

  • Can't read or write some files, internet is failing, youtube won't load, software I tried to install was in Slovenian, not dutch or english like in my systempreferences settings, pictures and files won't preview with spacebar, etc. Malware?

    Specs:
    iMac 10.8.5
    3,4 GHz Intel Core i7
    32 GB 1600 MHz DDR3
    Can't read or write some files, internet is failing, youtube won't load, security software I tried to install was in Slovenian, not dutch or english like in my systempreferences settings, pictures and files won't preview with spacebar and are randomly corrupted, when I entered something in the Youtube searchbar (when it was still working) it send me to a site with sexadds.
    I tried restart my iMac and when I was logged back in, my dock preferences were reset.
    Also tried to download some security software to check my Mac for malware, but when I did, I tried several, I got a notification that said something like 'dumpfiles (don't know if this is the right translation...) damaged'.
    I'm taking screenshots from all the weird notifications I get and even three quarters off the screenshots I took in the last three hours are already unreadable.
    It started this morning when I tried opening a Premiere Pro file on which I worked the night before.
    When I tried opening it, it said the file was damaged and could not be openend.
    I tried opening it with AE or importing the file in a new project but nothing helped.
    When I tried looking for autosaves, this is the really weird part, there were none.
    Even though there are autosaves from my other projects, this one was completely gone.
    It looked like the day before never happened on my computer.
    Also when I openend Premiere all the recent projects had been wiped.
    So at first I thought it was a Premiere Pro failure.
    But than, later on the day, I tried loading some RAW files from my compact flash card.
    This is where I would get an error (error -36) which said some data cannot be read or written.
    I tried importing the files with a view different technics, from dragging to importing via Lightroom and I succeeded with Image Browser.
    But when I tried moving the files to an other folder the same error occurred.
    While dealing with this issue I wanted to put on some soothing music on youtube.
    This is when the next weird thing occurred: youtube wasn't completely loading in Chrome. I refreshed a view times, checked the internet connection and still no difference.
    When I tried in Safari it did work but when I clicked enter on the searchbar in Youtube, a page with sexadds appeared (I didn't install AdBlock in Safari...).
    I read about this 'phishing' where you are redirected to a site were a possible malware installment can take place...
    I don't know if it's connected to any of the problems I've been having but I just never experienced this on a mac, I have been a Mac user for 10 years now.
    On top of it all, internet started working worse and worse and now it's not even working at all. I had to fill in the password over and over, normally it remembers.
    Just like my system preferences, all the preferences I had with Chrome where also reset.
    Also somewhere in between I got this notification: Mac OS X must restore library to run programs. Type your password to allow.
    To me this is all very weird and suspicious. I have clearly no idea what's going on. Could this be another sort of trojan horse or malware?
    Some background info which could be helpful for solving this mystery:
    two months ago the one year old Fusion Drive in my iMac just broke out of nowhere.
    I got it replaced by a qualified apple repair store.
    When I got my computer back, all the files where gone.
    I got on the internet without AdBlock installed yet.
    A game or whatever it was, can't clearly remember, got installed by accident.
    I deleted it immediately.
    Only two weeks later, I couldn't log in to my account. It didn't recognize my password and username. 
    So I brought my mac back to the store.
    Here the repair guy said it was a minor thing and he just needed to reconnect my account. He also mentioned he found a downloaded game name Sparta and it probably had something to do with the error.
    I asked him; could it be a virus? He replied no way.
    I don't know why I couldn't be a virus, just because it's a mac doesn't mean it cannot be done.
    So today I tried installing anti virus software (such as avast- was in a weird language looked like slovenian, clamxav - was in slovenian) but I couldn't install them.
    PLEASE help me! I don't know what to do anymore, I work fulltime and I need my computer, I have no time to bring it in for repair, are there other perhaps easier ways?
    Could this be the work of a virus or a malware? Or is it a disk permissions issue?

    It sounds like you may have multiple problems, but none of them are likely to be caused by malware.
    First, the internet-related issues may be related to adware or a network compromise. I tend to lean more towards the latter, based on your description of the problem. See:
    http://www.adwaremedic.com/kb/baddns.php
    http://www.adwaremedic.com/kb/hackedrouter.php
    If investigation shows that this is not a network-specific issue, then it's probably adware. See my Adware Removal Guide for help finding and removing it. Note that you mention AdBlock as if it should have prevented this, but it's important to understand that ad blockers do not protect you against adware in any way. Neither would any kind of anti-virus software, which often doesn't detect adware.
    As for the other issues, it sounds like you've got some serious corruption. I would be inclined to say it sounds like a failing drive, except it sounds like you just got it replaced. How did you get all your files back after the new drive was installed?

  • Formatted HD, but have backup of all the folders and files of Firefox. How can I restore everything, including plugins, bookmarks and saved settings?

    I have formatted my computer's HD because of a problem with Windows 7, the thing is that Windows 7 didn't start, so I couldn't backup my Firefox settings, bookmarks, plugins, themes, personas and etc. the right way.
    I also don't have a Firefox Sync account.
    What I do have are all the folders and files of Firefox, because I just created a new partition and installed Windows 7 again, what I'm having trouble is finding a way (if there's any) to restore everything from my previous installation to the new one.
    I have searched for days on both Google and on te Firefox forum with no success, the only questions I found are about restoring a profile, but what I'm trying to do is the same thing that the Firefox add-on " FEBE " does, which is restoring everything to the previous configuration.
    Here's alink to the add-on: https://addons.mozilla.org/pt-br/firefox/addon/febe/
    I have tried copying, pasting and overwritting from the " .default " folder to my new installation of Firefox (yes, Firefox was closed), but when I opened it again, nothing was restored.
    I every single folder and file Firefox ever created on my computer, this includes the installation folder (at Program Files), the profile (.default at AppData) folder, the Mozilla folder (ProgramData) and the Mozilla Firefox folder (also at AppData).
    I also had the FEBE add-on installed, but like stated before, unfortunately I couldn't start Windows 7, forcing me to create a new partition to install a new copy of the OS.
    Thanks in advance.
    PS. Sorry if I made the text too long and/or if I mentioned the same things twice, just trying to be thorough.

    Hi Sdarts,
    I apologize for the delay in replying to your question, and I am sorry to hear that you are having issues restoring your Firefox user data.
    Please see the following article, which explains how to restore your Firefox user data using a previously backed up Profiles folder, which seems to apply to your situation:
    * [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/back-and-restore-information-firefox-profiles Backup and Restore information from Firefox Profiles]
    Please let us know if this solves your problem or if you have any questions.

  • Screen sharing and file sharing not working on LAN

    This is not a Mavericks specific problem since it existed before I upgraded to Mavericks.  I have a LAN that consists of 3 MBPs and 1 MacPro.
    Local screen sharing and file sharing works fine on all of these computers except for one MBP.  From this MBP I am able to connect to all of the other computers for screen sharing and file sharing.  But I can't connect to this particular MBP for screen sharing or file sharing from any of the other Macs.
    This MBP shows up in the left hand side column under "Shared" on all the other computers.  But I am unable to make a connection from any computer to the problematic MBP.  I get the message, "There was a problem connecting to the server "xxxxxxxx".  The server may not exist or is unavailable at this time".
    I have tried toggling off and on screen sharing and file sharing with no effect.  One probably pertinent strange thing that I notice is that under the Screen Sharing set up the green button next to "Screen Sharing:On" is green.  But the message under it states:
    "Other users can access your computer's screen
    at vnc://johnmacbookproretina/ or by looking for “John MacBook Pro” in the Finder sidebar."
    The problem is that my computer name is "John MacBook Pro" and the LocalHostName is "JohnMBPr.local".  I believe that at some point in the past the computer name and/or LocalHostName was "johnmacbookproretina".
    Similiarly, under File Sharing I am informed:
    "Other users can access shared folders on this computer, and administrators all volumes, at “afp://johnmacbookproretina” or “smb://johnmacbookproretina”."
    I would appreciate any help I could get to resolve this perplexing issue.  Thanks.
    John

    I've finally been able to solve my own problem.
    File sharing and screen sharing on the problematic MBP was being blocked by firewall rules that had been set up several weeks ago when I had installed a trial version of DoorStop X firewall software.  I had previously trashed the app when the 30 day trial ended.  I did not realize that the software had left a set of firewall rules in the Library/StartupItems folder.  Among other things, the rules were set to deny access to the computer on the ports used for file sharing and screen sharing.  Once I trashed the DoorStopStartup folder in the StartUpItems folder all the connection problems resolved with a computer restart.

  • A serious issue with excel file read in ODI

    Set objArgs = WScript.Arguments
    For I = 0 to objArgs.Count - 1
    FullName = objArgs(I)
    FileName = Left(objArgs(I), InstrRev(objArgs(I), ".") )
    Set objExcel = CreateObject("Excel.application")
    set objExcelBook = objExcel.Workbooks.Open(FullName)
    objExcel.application.visible=false
    objExcel.application.displayalerts=false
    objExcelBook.SaveAs FileName & "csv",23
    objExcel.Application.Quit
    objExcel.Quit
    Set objExcel = Nothing
    set objExcelBook = Nothing

    csv will come with ABC,XYZ,PQR
    here the delimiter is , i want the delimiter as pipe | who's ascii code is 124
    but if i change 23 with 124 its not working i getting the error cannot save as...

    I dont have the answer for your question but i have different approach in handling multiple Excel File.
    Step 1. Copy a sample source Excel File and Call it Final.xls .
    Step 2. Map this Final.xls to DSN and in Topology call this Final.xls
    Step 3. Do the Reversing and Map and test the Interface . Once its done.
    Step 4. Create a Package and using a http://odiexperts.com/?p=1426 get the list of all the Excel File
    Step 5 . Using this http://odiexperts.com/?p=273 create a Loop to Read the Excel File name
    Step 6 . Copy using OdiFileCopy to Final.xls and run your interface .
    Step 7. Increment the Loop and copy your next File for Final and run the interface
    Step 8 . Finally you will be able to read all the Excel File .
    Step 9 . Delete the source file [ Optional ]
    Hope this helps.

  • Issues showing PDF files in web-browser (Windows 7 x64, 32-bit version of AdobeReader X)

    I'm not sure if this is the right way to share my experience, but at least I know Google will discover this thread eventually and maybe someone else will find what I have been looking for the past 3 hours
    I'm deploying the 32-bit based AdobeReader X (http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=4950) to Windows7 32-bit and 64-bit based machines. This is a MSI deployement done through our Active Directory. Everything goes well - no errors. Except for the x64-based machines having trouble showing PDF-files in the web-browser.
    I used Adobe Customization Wizard X to customize our MSI installation - this showed out to be the solution once again.
    Common for the installation on Windows7 32-/64-bit were that the value in the registry database for HKCR\Software\Adobe\Acrobat\Exe (Default) was set to "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Reader 10.0\Reader\AcroRd32.exe". This is valid for the 32-bit installation as Program Files is situated in C:\Program Files, but since it's a 32-bit edition of AdobeReader that I'm installing on the 64-bit based system as well, it's installed in C:\Program Files (x86) and the reference in the registry database to "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Reader 10.0\Reader\AcroRd32.exe" is therefore not valid - which explains why PDF files could not be displayed in the web browser. Changing the registry to "C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Reader 10.0\Reader\AcroRd32.exe" solved it. Now this is a manual solution which might be useful on 1-2 machines but on a bigger scale it's not the right way to do it.
    I could change it with a batch/vbs script but still this is only a solution of the symptom and not a solution to the core issue. I therefore focused on Adobe Customization Wizard X again.
    The problem was easily solved. I opened the MSI file, loaded the transform file that I've made previously. Went to Registry > HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Software\Adobe\Acrobat\Exe . I then changed the (Default) value from "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Reader 10.0\Reader\AcroRd32.exe" to "[INSTALLDIR]Reader\AcroRd32.exe", generated the MST file and replaced my current one for distribution. Problem solved! :-) The entry in the registry now shows : "C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Reader 10.0\Reader\AcroRd32.exe" and PDF files are open without any issues.
    I hope someone can save a bit of time on this one.
    Best regards!

    when I do adobe test in ie 9---https://courses.worldcampus.psu.edu/public/diagnostics/Acrobat.html--  launches a test pdf file--Acro_Test.pdf
    After unchecking-- it stays in the  https://courses.worldcampus.psu.edu/public/diagnostics/Acrobat.html instead of showing test pdf file--Acro_Test.pdf
    Tried to go back to "display PDF in Browser"--it is showing it is checked(eventhough I did not check it)
    and in ie
    it stays in the https://courses.worldcampus.psu.edu/public/diagnostics/Acrobat.html instead of showing test pdf file--Acro_Test.pdf
