Some Kernel and optimization related questions

Last monday I asked about what was the best way to compile a kernel to apply a patch ( solving an hibernation resuming problem). Using the ABS turned to be an easy solution with a shiny patched kernel that works GREAT. Yestertay, I tried e4rat in order to speed up my boot process, wich now takes 1 min or so from burg to kde4 with Chrome, Eclipse, Spideroak and Dropbox all full loaded and functional on my laptop when before using E4rat that took nearly 3-4 minutes.
Laptop specs: Fujitsu Esprimo Mobile V6535 --> Intel T4300, 4 GB 800MHz DDR2 RAM, Intel GMA 4500M, atheros wifi chipset. Non-laptop related hardware (if needed to have in mind) Microsoft Natural Ergonomic Keyboard 4000 and Lifechat LX3000 headset, Logitech G5 mouse.
Currently the laptop is my main computer and used to internet-browsing, programming and sometimes to watch movies. No games.
I really enjoyed all the tweaking involved on the last week with the kernel patching and e4rat, so I want more.
Ok then, I was going to try readahead ( https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Readahead ) and then I see that on the AUR there are some packages related to it, and this is the point when the questions come:
1) The article on the wiki points out to readahead-list, but there what seems to me another implementation, readahead-fedora. To me it seems obvious that the implementation may be different, but, what are the differences betweent the two?
2) what has to do ureadahead with the two said before? Plus, what is the point with the package description? "ureadahead is used during boot to read files in advance. readahead-list and sreadahead are out-of-date. Needs patched kernel!" The last part has not problem to me as kernel26-yi 2.6.38.2-2 seems to patch the kernel to support ureadahead, but is the first sentence, the one that talks about readahead-{list,fedora} being outdated. Could someone clarify this?
3) About kernel26-yi 2.6.38.2-2. ¿Does only a kernel install or a full compilation? ¿What kind of patches does it ship with? (Aside from ureadahead support)
4) https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Im … tom_Kernel . Aside from the warning about the possible trouble with modules, is there any kind of common incidence with that options? Any kind of suggestion about more config options related to performance or to have in mind?
5) Any other kind of suggestion?
Feel free to suggest any option that trades RAM for performance, currently only a third of my RAM is used (or said in other words, more than half of my RAM is being unused (therefore useless)) and only gets to half or 2/3 when virtualbox is launched (twice everyday, during 5 mins or so)
Thank you all in advance for your help.
EDIT: I forgot to say, I like KDE and changing it is not an option, but feel fre to comment options on that way if you consider it would be a big deal.

Yes, I forgot to mention that, but already using fastboot parameter (if that is the fastboot on my burg linux line, then i'm using it). As said, I'm very happy with my current status about booting and performance, no complains, only that something inside me wants to keep pushing on this.
I read a bit about BFS and the CK patches today, maybe I'll give it a try, maybe not now, but someday sure.

Did you notice some kind of performance decrease on other activities?

Some dba and OS related confusions

Hi All,
I have few doubts related to database and OS perspective. Could pelase someone let remove my these doubts and clarify below questions:
Qus1: Can we have two listener.ora file with same default port number 1521?
Qus2: Why do we create two groups "dba" and "oinstall" while installing oracle database?
Qus3: If my database is in archive log mode and in case archiver process is killed then redo will be archived or not otherwise what will happen?
Qus4: If I have catalog database for RMAN metadata. And in case catalog database is crashed. Will I be able to use RMAN backupsets for restore the database?
Qus5: What is needed to run "some_path/root.sh" script while installing the oracle database at last step?
Qus6: How can we get to know what are the database running in my server from OS level itself means if any database is shutdown or crashed, can we get to know about those database from OS level itself? If yes then please specify the command?
Qus7: How can we configure UDP protocol for my listener?
Qus: If I am updating one table and update query is going on. Inbetween OS gets shutdown then when it is back my transaction will rolledback. Please let me know how it happenes means is there any process to do this or something else?
Please clarify above questions.
Regards,
Michel

Q1: Can we have two listener.ora file with same default port number 1521?
A1. If on the same machine then only if they are listening on different virtual IPs, otherwise not on the same machine. As previously stated, you can try this out for yourself.
Q2: Why do we create two groups "dba" and "oinstall" while installing oracle database?
A2. For role separation such that if you multiple software installations and/or databases on the same machine, all will have access to the central inventory owned by the primary "oinstall" group, while the other installations/databases can be owned by other secondary groups (i.e. "dba", "dba1", and so on). Taken a step further you can have different oracle software owners with the same primary "oinstall" group but different secondary groups.
Q3: If my database is in archive log mode and in case archiver process is killed then redo will be archived or not otherwise what will happen?
A3. I like the idea of testing this out for yourself so I'll leave this to you ;-)
Q4: If I have catalog database for RMAN metadata. And in case catalog database is crashed. Will I be able to use RMAN backupsets for restore the database?
A4. This depends on a few things but in the simplest case, assuming you have the control file, only need to recover a datafile, and the backup data is still available (as specified by the CONTROL_FILE_RECORD_KEEP_TIME parameter), then yes.
Q5: What is needed to run "some_path/root.sh" script while installing the oracle database at last step?
A5. You must have access to the root account (directly or indirectly via sudo as an example) at the command line.
Q6: How can we get to know what are the database running in my server from OS level itself means if any database is shutdown or crashed, can we get to know about those database from OS level itself? If yes then please specify the command?
A6. There are two different questions here, namely check for running databases, and check database status. To check for running databases from the OS there are some options, the most basic is likely the command:
ps -eaf | grep ora_pmon | grep -v grep
The above checks for running processes, pipes that output through a 'grep' filter for commands having 'ora_pmon' (Oracle PMON process), which in turn is filtering out the command used to do the check itself (i.e. having 'grep' in the command).
To check the status you'll need to scrap the alert log file for certain strings. You could also use 'srvctl status database -d <dbname>' if that is available, but it will only give online/offline status.
Q7: How can we configure UDP protocol for my listener?
A7. Don't worry about this, it's taken care of auto-magically. Read the Oracle networking documentation for information.
Q8: If I am updating one table and update query is going on, in between OS gets shutdown then when it is back my transaction will be rolled back. Please let me know how it happens meaning is there any process to do this or something else?
A9. There's nothing that you need to do, it's handled internally by the database. I highly recommend reading through the concepts documentation for full understanding of this, as well as how things generally work inside the Oracle database.
Hope this helps.

1159 on RHAS3 kernel and glibc version question

Hi all,
Fresh install of RHAS3, output of uname gives me
2.4.21-20.ELsmp
1159 installation update notes mention kernel required version as being 2.4.21-4.EL
Is this OK? Do I need to upgrade kernel? Where do I get the rpm for this?
Output from rpm -q glibc gives me
glibc-2.3.2-95.27
1159 installation update notes mention required version as being 2.3.2-95.3
Again, is this OK? Where do I get the rpm for this?
Regards, thanks

Check
Note 958253 - SUSE LINUX Enterprise Server 10: Installation notes
Note 797084 - SUSE LINUX Enterprise Server 9: Installation notes
Check there both the "Kernel" and the "glibc" section.

Auto layout of photographs and 3 related questions

using mac 10.5 and id cs4
new to indesign but have some exp with other software
i have 200 photos to place on pages 11 by 17 inches--
i have 3 other questions
1. i create a page--now i want to add another page is there a way to do this or do i have to create another page?---save as preset maybe?
2. now i want to add to these pages automatically 200 photographs 4 by 6 inches
if i need to create boxes for the photos how do i create a preset box?
sorry for the number of questions but they are all related and i assume this has been addresss before but net homework lead nowhere
i incidently tried ps elements but would not install on my mac version
i have a copy of ps cs4 also
really frustrated at this point

I hope this doesn't come across the wrong way; I mean it positively, from my own experience as a user and trainer: The "finer points" of difference between software products that seem to do similar things, are not trivial! My French teacher told us that there are some important rules, like, "All nouns that end in 'e' are feminine! (pause) EXCEPT..." and then he gave some of the many common exceptions.
X-number of years doing <whatever> usually means X-number of years doing what I've learned to do and what behaves as I've learned to expect to behave. Those solid lessons and habits sometimes interfere with seeing other possible approaches, techniques, and outcomes for the same starting points. It's terribly frustrating to find that your reliable tools aren't effective. If you ever were comfortable with driving a stick-shift car, then changed to an automatic-transmission car, think of how many times you were surprised and frustrated when you stomped your left foot onto a non-existent clutch, until you adjusted to your new environment.

A Document is a single file, which can contain one or many pages. Pages appear in "spreads" that can contain from one to ten pages. To save a document, use the File > Save or Save As... commands -- nothing odd about that.
Are you familiar with the concept of the Master Page? Master pages are like templates for pages. Put stuff on the master page, then any document page based on that master page will have those elements in place (but they will not be selectable without overriding). You can hover a loaded "Place Gun" over an empty master frame and click, and the ID will automatically override that frame and put the content into it.
Some people are comfortable thinking of a master page as a background that "shows through" on the document pages that the master is applied to.
By default, every new document starts with two master pages, [None], which is used when you have other masters and you need a page with no master items, and A-Master which is the default name for the default master page applied to any pages when you first create the document. It starts out blank, unless you've checked the box for automatic text frame in the document setup, then it will have a single text frame that fills the are inside your margin guides. If you've selected "Facing pages" in Document setup, A-Master will actually be a two-page spread (with the spine in the center) and any automatic text frames will be "threaded" from left to right across the spread so that you can "autoflow" text. Automatic text frames are NOT required in most cases and are often a hindrance rather than a help. Page setup, including dimensions, margins, columns, and bleeds, is all together in the document setup dialog when you first create a file (you are creating the margins and columns for A-Master), but not all pages need to have the same margins or column setup (nor even the same size as of CS5), so once a document is created, you'll find margin and column adjustments under the Layout Menu. Changing the basic page size is still found under the Document Setup command in the file menu, but adjusting the size of an individual page in CS5 is done with the Page tool.
A Book, in InDesign parlance, is a container for a group of document files that allows you to work on sections without having to scroll through one huge file and also allows for synchronizing colors, styles and even master pages across all the files in the Book. Individual documents may be included in more than one book, if you like, which allows you to multi-purpose documents.
For some users, the idea of a book as a container for a group of files, thinking of the book as a folder, is fine. But other users may be more comfortable thinking of a book as a list of file names that should be treated as a single group, and the instructions for paginating, and applying other properties to them.
Trust me, InDesign is a VERY complex bit of software, and you'll benefit immensely form buying Sandee's book or getting a subscription to Lynda,com.
I like to think of InDesign as a pretty straightforward software application, and that its sheer number - several hundred - of specialized "core" plug-in components is what makes it complicated. There's at least a bit of learning necessary to take advangage of each of these "building blocks."
Please keep returning with your questions as you progress.

New PB 15" Fans, SMS, Temps, Gfx and other related questions!!

Hi All,
Apologies if this is a long one - I have a few points to raise.
As a new 15" PB user I have spent the last week or so scouring these boards for information on my new baby. Much of it has been interesting, and I'd like to address a few of the issues raised.
Fan Noise
Some folks have mentioned a constant but quiet noise from a fan on the unit. i too am aware of this, but it is not the cooling fan, but the HARD DRIVE. I recently upgraded my whisper quiet iBook with a Seagate Momentus 5400rpm 80 GB drive, and the sound on my new PB is exactly the same as that which began after this HD upgrade -these hard drives are slightly noisier than slower models, but i'm happy to live with it as it is non-intrusive.
As to the fan/s themselves on the powerbook - when do they actually turn on? I'm used to the iBook fan kicking in after 20 minutes or so of World of Warcraft, but I have still yet to hear my Powerbook fan outside of running the Apple Hardware Test. How hard do you need to push the machine before they come on?
Temperatures
I can see that there is an issue with most temperature readers in that they don't update on the PB properly. I'm using the latest version of Temperature monitor which seems to update, however the readings seem weird to me:
Graphics Processor 100C, Power Supply Bottom 48C, Processor Bottomside 40.8, Processor /Controller Bottomside 41.5C, Hard Drive 36C, Trackpad 32.5C.
Are these in line with evryone else's? I am concerned specifically about the graphics processor reading, which is odd, as I am simply sitting here typing this with no other apps open. initially thought the program may have picked up on the battery charge rate, as it varied from 97-100, but sometimes it will change erratically for no apparent reason.
Ticking in 3D apps
This may or may not be a new one. When I'm playing 3D intensive games with the sound muted I notice a ticking noise coming from the centre of the unit under the keyboard - it's not hard drive related. The ticking changes in speed depending on the scene shown on the screen, and seems to be consistent with the frame rate, i.e the ticking slows down as the framerate does. Anyone else notice this really weird behaviour?
Apple Hardware Test
When I received the unit a few days ago i ran the Apple Hardware test and was surprised that when we got to the video memory part the screen suddenly went allpatchwork coloured for about 15 seconds. The screen then returned to normal and the test was 'passed'. Is this normal?
Sudden Motion Sensor
The AMS tracker tool at kernalthread.com didn't work on my SMS equipped iBook - I really wanted to try out the little toys the author made where you rotate your machine and the display rotates to suit - a bit like a £1400 version of Warioware Twisted...
Anyway, it doesn't work on my new PB, even though it was specifically designed to do so. I have noticed some issues on here about SMS, so does anyone else with a new Hi res powerbook have the same problem?
Well that's about the total of my observations for the moment - any comments/suggestions would be most gratefully received!
15"PB HiRes, 1.5GB Ram etc Mac OS X (10.4.3)

Hi David --
I have comments that might help with regard to a few points in your post.
Re fan noise: I have a Seagate Momentus 100 GB 5400 rpm factory installed and it's whisper quiet. I can't hear it over the noise of my typing even in a quiet room.
Re temps. I, too, have Temperature Monitor v. 3.1 installed. It was the first temp monitor (credit to Ned Snowing for turning me on to it) that appears to update its temperature readings on my PB. I have six temp readings, like you, but none of them are marked graphics processor. Where you have graphics processor, I have "Battery Temperautre." Maybe it's because you have the October 2005 revision PB and I have the February 2005 revision, i don't know.
My temps, starting with "battery" and then following the same ones as you outlined in your post, are: 31, 41.4, 40, 43, 35, 33 all º C. That 100º C reading you have has to be wrong, because it would surely well exceed the outer limits for the machine -- I don't see any category with a specified outer limit temp higher than 82º C.
Can't help on 3D gaming, not really what I use the PB for.
As for the AHT, I haven't run it in a while, but if I remember correctly, the patchwork graphics for 15 minutes thing that you describe is just the AHT doing its thing and testing your PB's graphics capabilities as part of its diagnostic process.
Finally, as far as the Sudden Motion Sensor issue goes, you might find the following (I warn you, very long) thread regarding the effect that upgrading to 10.4.3 (which I see you are running) had on people's SMS. Here's the thread: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=228309&tstart=50 the long and short of things appears to be that on many people's PB's (mine included), upgrading to 10.4.3 appears to have messed with System Profiler's ability to report accurately the status of the SMS. It also effects the AMS and the ability of the programs you described to tap into the SMS. You need to read the entire thread carefully to get all the subtleties of what's going on, and no one seems certain as to whether the problem is just a reporting one or whether the issue goes deeper and actually implicates the functionality of the SMS itself. I'm done with it, frankly, until Apple comes out with either a statement (unlikely) or a new update (likely) that hopefully fixes the situation. It's bee reported to death through proper channels.

Aperture with Scanner and other related questions

One month ago I've purchased an iMac 24", and I'm planning to buy Aperture.
If some one can help me, I have these Questions:
1.- Can I scann from Aperture importing from my Scanner Epson Perfection 3170 and put the pics on the Aperture Gallery?
2.- Which file format TIFF, DNG?
3.- Why use VAULT if I have an external HD and I use Time Machine
4.- It make sense use Photoshop Elements if I buy Aperture?
5.- Can I import on Aperture the keywords I've created on BRIDGE?
Thank you
Best regards
Luis

Hi. Point three the vault backup is aperture just being safe, yes the time machine is great and will work trust me. If god forbid there is a small fire from a power pack etc you can loose the pc and backup drive this is the point of the vault make another backup keep the drive at work for safety simple. The vault is great for making incremental backup very fast. Point 4 elements works a treat with aperture you can set it as external editor if you need too, the pair complement each other and the best thing elements is cheep now.

Preview and iCloud Related Questions

What am I missing here...
What's the point of having Preview with iCloud if I can't view it on my other devices like iPad/iPhone?
App with iCloud integration doesn't seem to function with folks who have a "lot" of documents. For example, I have a folder with ~50 files organizaed into 4 sub-folders, but moving to iCloud and Pages I now have a flat file system in a single folder. Is this really the future?
iCloud doesn't make sense for say a work Project effort where you would have multiple file formats or types for a single project (word, excel, numbers, pages, keynote, powerpoint, visio, etc). I take it this isn't what iCloud is really intended for? I would need to spread my single project out across multiple app folders?
Maybe it's me but it still seems half-baked and not really thought out regarding how people actually "work".

You have to turn on iCoud Photo Library
On your phone: Settings > iCloud > Photos > turn on iCloud Photo Library
This will upload any photos you take on your phone to the iCloud Photo Library (different than iCloud Drive).
Now when you sign into iCloud.com you will see Photos. From there you can upload photos from your computer.
They will still take up room on your phone but you can optimize it in the Photos section of the iCloud settings (Settings > iCloud > Photos)

Website cache and update related questions

Please could someone help me with my questions? I have been searching and I hear so many views that I don't know what to think. The image has the question text in it.

adninjastrator and kglad thanks for the help but I am still not getting anywhere :-( Please stay with me. I tried the "blarg="+new Date().getTime());" method but it did not work for me. Maybe I did somethign wrong or I am just plain thick.
I am posting a simple TEST.zip folder to mimic my questions. Everything is linked properly so could someone PLEASE PLEASE add the code to it so I can see what I am doing wrong?
You can download the TEST.zip folder (73KB) here- http://www.mediafire.com/?e0gegmdvh4xzcvg
It's completely safe to download and please ignore the annoying pop up ads. I signed up for free service hence the ads.
So in the TEST.zip folder start with index.html.
1- There you will see >Enter Button< and >portfolio.pdf< button. Nothing will change on index.html page but the portfolio pdf will be regularly updated. So I want the >portfolio.pdf< to fetch the latest pdf always. I assume the code will go on the >portfolir.pdf< button?
2- >Enter Button< will take us to master.html page which contains master.swf. Master.html is only a container but master.swf will be regularly updated and needs to always load the latest master.swf version.
3- Load image.swf button will load image.swf. I want the button to load the latest image.swf file always.
So if someone could take couple of minutes and add the code the correct way to achieve the 3 things I am trying to do then I would be ETERNALLY grateful!
If you don't have an upload method to pass me the edited files then feel free to mail them to-
[email protected]
I hope someone replies. Thanks for helping me with your valuable time!

I want to check all functions of PCI 6534.I have read the user manual..I have some memory related questions.Please help me for that.

I want to check all functions of PCI 6534.I have read the user manual..I have some memory related questions.Please help me for that.
1.)If i am using the continuous output mode.and the size of generated data is less than 32 MB.If i want to preload the memory,what should i do?I want that first of all i load all my data to onboard memory & then i want to make start the transfer between 6534 & peripheral.Is it possible?As per me it should be.Plz tell me how should i do this?I think that in normal procedure the transfer between 6534-peripheral & outputting data from pc buffer to onboard memory works parallely.But i don't want this.Is it poss
ible?
(2).Similarly in finite input operation(pattern I/O) is it possible to preload the memory and then i read it?Because i think that the PC memory will be loaded automatically when 6534 acquires the data and then when we use DIO read vi the pc buffer data will be transferred to application buffer.If this is true,i do not want this.Is it possible?
(3) One more question is there if i am using normal operation onboard memory will be used bydefault right?Now if i want to use DMA and if i have data of 512 bytes to acquire.How will it work and how should i do it?Please tell me the sequence of operations.As per my knowledge in normal DMA operation we have 32 Bytes FIFO is there so after acquisition of 32 bytes only i can read it.How it will known to me that 32 bytes acquisition is complete?Next,If i want to acquire each byte separately using DMA interrupts what should i do?Provide me the name of sourse from which i can get details about onboard memory & DMA process of 6534 specifically
(4).In 6534 pattern Input mode,if i want to but only 10 bits of data.and i don't want to waste any data line what should i do?

Hi Vishal,
I'll try to answer your questions as best I can.
1) It is definitely possible to preload data to the 32MB memory (per group) and start the acquisition after you have preloaded the memory. There are example programs on ni.com/support under Example Code for pattern generation and the 6534 that demonstrate which functions to use for this. Also, if your PC memory buffer is less than 32MB, it will automatically be loaded to the card. If you are in continuous mode however, you can choose to loop using the on-board memory or you can constantly be reading the PC memory buffer as you update it with your application environment.
2) Yes, your data will automatically be loaded into the card's onboard memory. It will however be transferred as quickly as possible to the DMA FIFO on the card and then transferred to the PC memory buffer through DMA. It is not going to wait until the whole onboard memory is filled before it transfers. It will transfer throughout the acquisition process.
3) Vishal, searching the example programs will give you many of the details of programming this type of application. I don't know you application software so I can't give you the exact functions but it is easiest to look at the examples on the net (or the shipping examples with your software). Now if you are acquiring 512 bytes of data, you will start to fill your onboard memory and at the same time, data will be sent to the DMA FIFO. When the FIFO is ready to send data to the PC memory buffer, it will (the exact algorithm is dependent on many things regarding how large the DMA packet is etc.).
4) If I understand you correctly, you want to know if you waste the other 6 bits if you only need to acquire on 10 lines. The answer to this is Yes. Although you are only acquiring 10 bits, it is acquired as a complete word (16bits) and packed and sent using DMA. You application software (NI-DAQ driver) will filter out the last 6 bits of non-data.
Hope that answers your questions. Once again, the example code on the NI site is a great place to start this type of project. Have a good day.

Some DSC developing relating questions

Hi,
I am new with DSC and have some questions relating to building the custom periodic I/O DSC server:
1. After building the custom VI and implementing it as an I/O DSC server, I found there are some mistakes inside the custom VI. I would like to modify it and rebuild it. But all of the shared variables are bound to this server. What I did is I deleted and removed these variables and rebuild them again. It takes a lot of time when I want to modify this custom VI. Is there anyway to avoid it?
2. To communicate with the custom VI, I use some controls and indicators. But to program a VI sometime I need to initialize or change the value of controls. But the guidelines for creatin a data access VI, I cannot use the local variables, property nodes, or control references for those controls need to be public. I would like to know if there is any solution to program effectively in my situations?
Thank you,
Thang

Hi - I'd like to clarify the issue you are having in question #1.
Here's what I think you are doing:
1. You write a VI with some controls and indicators wired to the VI's connector pane.
2. You use the DSC "create periodic I/O wizard" to create the server VIs.
3. You open an empty project and right-click "My Computer" and select "New->I/O Server". You then select "Custom VI - Periodic" from the list and click "Continue".
4. You see the name of the VI you created in step 2 under "configuration name" pulldown and click "OK". A new library appears in the Project Explorer called "Untitled Library 1".
5. You click the "plus" and see a globe on a hand icon with the name "Custom VI - Periodic1" or something similar related to your VI name.
6. You right-click on "Untitled Library 1" and select "create bound variables". You then navigate down through the tree structure to your server inputs and outputs and select them and add them and then click OK.
7. The Multiple Variable Editor pops up showing the new variables. You click "done" and see the new variables listed in your project explorer window.
8. You use these variables on your Client front panel by dragging them from project explorer onto your VI front panel where they work ok.
9. You want to make changes to the VI server, and rebuild it, and update your Client VI. Rebuilding the VI server is no problem. I don't think you will have any problems as long as you haven't added or changed any variable names. If this is what your question #1 is about, then there are several different ways to deal with this using the multiple variable editor, or the front panel mass binding editor.

Macbook pro starts up but i see picture of some files and a question mark

So I was on my laptop today and it just outta nowhere froze , the song i was listening stopped and i couldn't change the page, i could move the trackpad but nothing else.
so i clicked on the off button and turned it off.
then i tried to turn it on again but while loading it just stayed blank and this picture of some files and a question mark on them appeared, i have no idea what's going on.
I turned it off again and turned it back on and the little apple appeared and it was loading but then a sign appeared like one of prohibited (the one that's a circle and has a slash across it) and idk what to do! i'm so frustrated all my school files are there and idk why this happened in the first place.
i turned it off and just put it to charge.
lately i've been using it a lot and i had a few things on when it froze , so im just gonna leave it off for a while but what can i do?
how do u solve this? has anyone had this happened to their macbook pro already? i bought it just last year idk why this is happening.

The folder and question mark means it cannot find a valid OSX Boot Volume, you need to Boot from your original install DVD (hold c at start) and then run Disc Utility from the top menu bar and run both 'Repair Disc' and 'Repair Permissions'. If it still doesn't boot from the internal hard drive then you need to boot from that install DVD again and do an archive (re)install of the operating system. (Your User data will be saved that way)

I have two related questions:
1. CF10 and integration with Java Web applications
We have a couple of Java applications running on JRun and interfacing with CF9 applications. The JRun clusters were created through the JRun Admin and, apart from lack of Axis 2.0 support, have served us well for years now. And, as would be the case, the ColdFusion9/Java/Flash application is a critical public-facing application that the business uses for bidding on projects.
It appears that with ColdFusion 10 on Tomcat, we will not be able to run those Java applications on a Tomcat-CF10 JVM cluster. Is this correct? IF so, what are our options?
2. J2EE Application Servers supported by Adobe for CF10
Which of these is correct?
A. This URL (http://www.adobe.com/products/coldfusion-enterprise/faq.html) states "ColdFusion 10 supports IBM® WebSphere, Oracle® WebLogic, Adobe JRun, Apache Tomcat, and JBoss."
B. This URL (http://wwwimages.adobe.com/www.adobe.com/content/dam/Adobe/en/products/coldfusion/pdfs/cf1 0/coldfusion10-support-matrix.pdf) states:
"J2EE application servers: WebLogic Server 10.3, 11.1, WebSphere Application Server 7, ND 7 JBoss 5.1, 6.0, 7.1.0"
I *think* "A" above is wrong re. support for Adobe JRun. It does not specify a version of Apache Tomcat unless it is simply referring to the custom version the comes with CF10.
Option "B" above shows no support of Adobe JRun or 'standard' Apache Tomcat.
Thanks,
Scott

Question 1 above was answered: "No support for Java web applications under CF10's custom version of Tomcat"
Question 2: No answer yet: Is Apache Tomcat (NOT Adobe's customized version) supported for CF10 J2EE deployment? I do not see any installation instructions on how to install CF10 on Apache Tomcat 6 or 7.
Is anybody using Apache Tomcat as their J2EE app servers and, again, NOT Adobe's customized/limited version?
Thanks,
Scott

Some problems and questions using OWB

For Igor or anyone who can help me :-)
Hello Igor,
Thanks for all your help concerning my mapping deployment problem! Now its working better ;-)
I used the OWB Runtime Assistant to create a new runtime target schema and i use the owner of this schema as user while logging to OWB.
Now i can create and deploy without problems mappings, tables, functions, procedures, packages, dimensions, views, materialized views, process flows (i have installed the Oracle Workflow Client 2.6.2.0.0 with OWF builder and OWF mailer ).
However I have still some problems and questions :-)
a) After deploying a mapping or process flow i can execute them from OWB Deployment Manager. How can i schedule the execution of a deployed precess without using OWBDM ? (I want to execute a process every day to perform ETL).
b) I think i have a problem deploying cubes. I create a cube in OWB, the validation is OK, the deploment succeds, but if i look with OEMC in the tree in the Warehouse OLAP section no cube is created. Only the fact tabe is created. If i look to the scripts from the Pre Deployment generation results i found DDLs only for TABLE, INDEX, UNIQUE KEY, FOREIGN KEY and ANALYZE object types, meanwhile during a dimension deployment i found also a DDL for the DIMENSION type object. WHY ?
c) If I look in the procedures of the new created OWB Runtime Target Schema I found 3 procedures which are in error and when I try to compile them I receive the following error messages :
- procedure WB_OLAP_LOAD_CUBE
PLS-00201: identifier 'DBMS_AWM.CREATE_AWCUBELOAD_SPEC' must be declared
- procedure WB_OLAP_LOAD_DIMENSION
PLS-00201: identifier 'DBMS_AWM.CREATE_AWDIMLOAD_SPEC' must be declared
- procedure WB_OLAP_LOAD_DIMENSION_GENUK
PLS-00201: identifier 'DBMS_AWM.CREATE_AWDIMLOAD_SPEC' must be declared
How can solve this problem? Is there any link with the fact that the cube is not generated?
d) When I first acces the deployed DIM in the OEMC tree I receive a message saying that the dimension does not have complete metadata as needed for use by Oracle OLAP services (because is created either in an earlier version of Oracle database or it was created by an an other application than OEMC) and OEMC automatically generates the default needed metadata. Is this normal ?
I work in an environment with
- Oracle 9i Database 9.2.0.1.0
- Oracle 9i Client 9.2.0.1.0
- Oracle 9i Warehouse Builder Products 9.2.0.2.8

Good morning. I've read in some blogs and forums that the verizon wireless works in Europe but my question is if it works with portugueses cards (like vodafone sim)?

Good morning (at least here in Portugal)
My question is that I want to buy the new Iphone 5C, but I want to use it here in Portugal. I was in the store menu looking for it and it appears that I have to stay with a network for two years, if not the price will increase significantly. I want to buy it online because the Iphone will only arrive in Portugal in December and probably it will be more expensive. I've read in some blogs and forums that the verizon wireless works in Europe but my question is if it works with portugueses cards (like vodafone sim)?
Thank you very much for the attention.
Daniela João.

The Verizon iPhone 5 is sold as unlocked. You can buy it full retail and use it anywhere you want. However, you won't get LTE in Europe and you won't be eligible for warranty service unless you take the phone back to the U.S. You won't be able to buy one on a contract unless you can pass a U.S. credit check. The minimum monthly cost would be $59.99 plus tax. I assume that all of this information will be true of of the 5C as well.
Wait and buy the phone in Portuagal.

Some problems and questions

I have some problems and questions about my MSI MEGA PC 180 system...
One problem is that MSI live monitor only works one time after every new installation then is just say "The URL is invalid" every other time I try to search for updates.
One problem is that one of the fans doesn't turn off when I turn of the computer and the only way to get i to turn off is to turn on the hifi mode and turn it off then the fan stops. And some times the fan can start after a while when the computer has been turned off.
There are two fans for the cooling of the CPU but PCALERT only shows the speed of one of them.. why? according to the manual one of the is called CPU fan and the other one is called sysfan but only CPU fan showes i PCALERT.
Are there no other way to control the Tv other than with the Home Teather system than I find way to slow if you use 1280x1024 resolution on the screen like I do. And are there no way to sort and remove channels in home teather? As i is now I can't move the channels in the order I want and I can't remover channels that the auto search thaught was channels but aren't?
An other thing that I find annoying is that the fullscreen mode of home teather doens't cover all off the screen it doesn't hide the systray and leaves a small but annoying kolumn to the right that showes the backgrund and that is very annoying to watch tv if you have a light backgrund because the kolumn are so bright.

Welcome Kabbo,
I see you agree that MC III is far from perfect. Perhaps you can try the combination of Media Portal and Ir2Key. Just read some of the other posts including "WinIRX.ocx internals/usage" by ddookie. Another possibility is to try Dscaler, but this program is only for watching TV.
Regarding the processor fans: its normal that only one of the two shows up in PcAlert; when you look closely to both fans you'll see that one has only a two-wired connection.
The problem of a fan not shutting down is new to me, I suppose you have checked the connections to your mobo?
Greetz,
JaDi
