Starting DB NLS problem

Hi
I had installed Oracle 9iR2.0.4.0 on SuSE 9.0.
When I try to strat up the database from the 'sqlplus'
"$sqlplus /nolg
SQL>conn / as sysdba"
I always get an error saying that I have wrong NLS value with error code "ORA-12705"
Same also from the dbastudio
my NLS_LANG is ARABIC_EGYPT.AR8MSWIN1256
and I had tried these values too
ARABIC_EGYPT.AR8ISO8856P5
AMERICAN_AMERICA.WE8MISO8856P1
it is exported and inserted in the '.bashrc'
We didn't face such problem on 9iR2.0.1 either with RH9 or SuSE 9.0
How we can start the database?

Hi,
Problem starting DB and not able to use sqlplus is two different thing.
Assuming you have right now problem using sqlplus.
Please check if your Environment variable like %PATH, %ORACLE_HOME is properly set. I suppose you have more than 1 oracle installed on that box.

JHeadstart NLS problems on Linux

I'm having problems generating nls resource files on our Red Hat Linux machine.
I set the resource bundle type to propertiesFile, but the ApplicationResources.properties file doesn't contain the correct information.

Is this a known problem? From my perspective It looks as though it can't find the nls templates (I specified the service setting "Templates Base Directory" to "/templates/"),
The pages themselves are generated correctly (except for the nls problems).

Hi Steven,
I downloaded JHS 10.1.3.2 build 51 and under Linux I created a new application using the HR schema. This time, all prompts and tabs did have the correct labels like they have under Windows. Thanks so much for the fix!
By the way, in the console from which I started JDeveloper 10.1.3.3 I do see a couple of these messages when I generate with JHeadstart.
java.lang.StringIndexOutOfBoundsException: String index out of range: -1
at java.lang.String.charAt(String.java:558)
at oracle.jsp.provider.JspFilesystemResource.setRoots(JspFilesystemResource.java:126)

at java.util.TimerThread.mainLoop(Timer.java:512)

At first I thought these messages could be linked to the warnings I get when I first generate an application. But they also appear on successive generations. Some further investigation revealed that these messages only are thrown after or at the end of the first generation after JDeveloper has been started. When I then regenerate, the messages no longer appear until I restart JDeveloper. As far as I can see nothing is missing from the files generated by JHeadstart but I need to investigate further to be sure.
Thanks, Wouter

Hi Danny,
Per my understanding that you can't get the expect result by using the expression "=Count(Fields!TICKET_STATUS.Value=4) " to count the the TICKET_STATUS which value is 4, the result will returns the count of all the TICKET_STATUS values(206)
but not 180, right?
I have tested on my local environment and can reproduce the issue, the issue caused by you are using the count() function in the incorrect way, please modify the expression as below and have a test:
=COUNT(IIF(Fields!TICKET_STATUS.Value=4 ,1,Nothing))
or
=SUM(IIF(Fields!TICKET_STATUS=4,1,0))
If you still have any problem, please feel free to ask.

We have had Verizon Wireless service since 2007. We have 6 lines on our account. Unfortunately in 2012 when I (903.647.0073) upgraded from the iPhone4s to the iPhone 5 I started having reception problems. I started having dropped calls in my home. I had to go outside to get reception without dropped calls. I was told that because of metal in my home I would have to purchase a Network Extender for $250. And we HAVE not metal in our home. AND our other lines all work fine. I felt this was ridiculous. We already pay $350+/month for service and I should NOT have to purchase additional equipment for a service that I already pay for. The manager of our local store at the time gave us at no cost a Samsung Network Extender. It worked beautifully until about a month ago. I went to our local Verizon store and was told that I would have to purchase an extender. THIS is RIDICULOUS. We have been loyal customers for over 7 years and have been very satisfied with our service. Unless this issue can be resolved without purchasing an extender we will be switching our service as our lines come up for renewal. I regret this as we have been very happy with our service. But we should NOT have to purchase anything extra for one line that will not get good reception. Again, we pay $350+/ month for a service that does not work properly, simply RIDICULOUS! Currently the "sys" light flashes red (slow) and the GPS light remains red. Please help this very frustrated customer.

Regardless with what carrier your with you might have the same issue, My recommendation would be to get a router that will help you with viewing live traffic and keep a tally of your usage and any device connected to your internet connection. You can go with the peplink balance 20 and be able to look at your traffic by the hour, daily, weekly, monthly or yearly. Look for trends, see what computers or devices are doing what I attached a screen shot so you can see an example of mine. You can purchase the router at 3gstore

Firefox upon opening an image in a new tab, centers the image from top and bottom and surrounds the image with a grey frame. Just started having the problem today, searched Google to no avail.

Oh wow, looks like a new feature.
The "page" links in a stylesheet with the address "resource://gre/res/TopLevelImageDocument.css". If you remove that reference, then the image displays in the old style.
'''''Edit: Please skip the rest of this post and check out the next one.'''''
There might be a more elegant solution than that, but you could use a bookmarklet to strip out that link when you want to view the page in its old style. A bookmarklet is a snippet of JavaScript you save on the Bookmarks toolbar for quick access.
First, copy the following code to the clipboard (it's all one long line):
 javascript:var ssheet=document.querySelector('link[href="resource://gre/res/TopLevelImageDocument.css"]'); if(ssheet)ssheet.parentNode.removeChild(ssheet); void 0;
Next, if you are not displaying the Bookmarks Toolbar, use View > Toolbars > Bookmarks Toolbar to display it. (If you aren't using the classic Menu bar, press Alt+v to call up the old View menu. Right-clicking the gray area just below the page address also allows you to display the Bookmarks Toolbar.)
Right-click on the Bookmarks Toolbar (or Mac equivalent of right-click!) and choose New Bookmark.
Paste the code into the Location box (the second box).
Then type a useful name in the Name box (e.g., Oldstyle Picture) and click Add.
Now, when you want to tweak the image display, click the button to run the script.
Manual clicking is a hassle, so it might make sense to look into other solutions. (Greasemonkey didn't seem to work; I think it might not run on .jpg files.)

I seriously don't know what caused this to start being a problem until today it worked fine, but I added an exception for popups full question in DETAILS

is there anyway to allow Firefox to allow pop ups from this 1 page of Facebook / well this 1 game https://apps.facebook.com/vampiresdarkside/ and not the entire pan in the Ass Pop up happy site, I cant see any sense in allowing popups from all
apps.facebook.com
and when I try to add it as the exception should be your program edits it to be that crap above instead of the exception I entered specifically,
apps.facebook.com/vampiresdarkside/
I seriously don't know what caused this to start being a problem until today it worked fine, but I added an exception for popups from this one site in Chrome and Firefox decided it wouldn't allow it popups from this part of Facebook and no I am not allowing all the FB apps to have popups I never had to before
apps.facebook.com/vampiresdarkside/
have popups after adding the popup exception in chrome, and no I did nothing to Firefox but it is kinda asking me to switch to Opera or some other crap browser with it acting like this, I modified the exception in chrome and Firefox now wont allow the pop ups it always had up until chrome allowed them WTF

I bought an iPhone 5 around fifteen days back and it has already started to give problem with the on/off button. I have to press it five six times to switch it on or off. I am so frustrated by the fact that if I bring it to the service centre, I am going to get a refurbished phone in place of my brand new phone which I just bought. The idea of a used phone repulses me. Any solutions ?

Why? Your current phone is used... it has been since the instant it was removed from the shrink wrap and turned on.
sumeshdua wrote:

Live with the phone as is.
Take the device to Apple for evaluation... it may not need replacement.
Even if it does, neither you or the Apple tech should be able to tell if the replacement is new or refurbished.

I recently upgraded to Lion, and immediately started having consistent problems with Open Office 12 (would hang, and need a Force quit to recover). Has anybody else seen these problems? Any solutions other than going back to Snow Leopard? (I did).

Hi Pete. The repair of disk permissions can help resolve any application crashing or misbehaving.
As for Lion and the two camps, I think that is a reasonable observation. In my office we have about a dozen Mac's and about one third of those Mac's had problems after updating from 10.6 to 10.7. The main problem for these Mac's was a loss of wifi stability. But for the other two-thirds, Lion was a smooth transition.
Personally, my Lion experience was fine. But I did get a new i7 MacBook Pro with Lion already installed and only had to migrate my user data from a 10.6.8 TM backup.
So I think that is a key for Lion's operational success. A clean install of Lion on a new Mac would not cause too many operational issues. But an installation, or more correctly, an update to Lion from SL increased the chances of failure for some users - especially when old software & plugins resided on the Mac. And I would say that they were the people that you saw at the Apple store.
As for the "latest release of Lion fixed my problems" statement, my experience with these and other forums is that people mostly only go there to complain about the problems they are having. If they are having no problems then they either keep it to themselves or they try to help the users who are experiencing trouble...

Help please.

Hey Eli,
It looks like a memory issue. It would be good if you could provide more lines from db2diag.log file.
Please make sure that DB2 configuration complies with the default suggested. Below link would help you understand better.
http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/db2luw/v9r5/index.jsp?topic=/com.ibm.db2.luw.qb.server.doc/doc/t0008238.html
More over set the ulimit for virtual memory and maximum memory size to unlimited in order to maximize the use of your current physical memory, after that restart DB2.
Please let us know if issue gets resolved.
Cheers!!!

IPod (5th gen) has strange bars on screen/won't start - iTunes 7 problem??

Hello, I have been having strange problems with my iPod for the past two days.
•Wednesday night I downloaded some TV shows. For some reason I ran the software update and allowed my computer to download and install the new iTunes 7. After installing, I turned off the iPod and went to bed.
•Thursday morning I was disappointed to find that my iPod would not turn on (I pressed menu and play at the same time and nothing happened). Later that day a coworker suggested that I press menu and the center button at the same time and it came to life again!
•Thursday evening I watched my TV show with no problems and the iPod seemed fine. However, this morning I tried to turn on my iPod and now it's not working again!!
I press menu and the black screen with the Apple logo flickers on for 1 second, then goes blank and then comes up again for 5 seconds, then disappears and a horizontal row of very thin lines shows up, running along the bottom 1/4 of the screen...I tried pressing menu & center button, menu & play...that causes the black screen & Apple logo to flicker on and off several times over and over, until after about 8 seconds it cuts off the top half and then becomes blank or the horizontal rows of lines occupy the bottom 1/3 of the screen.
In doing some quick research it seems that a lot of people are having problems after the iTunes 7 update, could that be my problem? If so, how do I uninstall it??
Thanks!!

iPod 5th Generation
Mac OS X (10.3.1)
Hallo Lisa
I have identical the same problem, also as from wednesday night, the only diference is that i was still using the previous version of iTunes. Took my iPod (5th generation) to Apple, they swopped it out for a new one saying it was a Hard drive problem, I don't agree, New iPod has same problem. My old iPod's, a 1st and 4th generation as wel as a mini and shuffel has no problems at all. I then uploaded to iTunes 7 to no avail.
In adition my 5th gen ipod makes sounds that to me sounds like the hard drive atempting to start up every time aprox 5 to 8 sec with the apple logo apaering at the same time for hours on end.

I've been using Firefox for quite a long time now and recently it has started giving some problems. It freezes randomly and doesn't respond to any clicks.

I am a proud user of Firefox. I started experiencing the freezing problem since i updated to Firefox 18 and now I am facing the same problem with Firefox 19. Firefox does not respond to any of my clicks and then I have to close it using Task Manager. This is happening frequently and randomly. It does not freeze on a particular site or anything else. It just freezes randomly. Please do reply if anyone has a solution to this problem.

How can I solve grey start-up screen problem?

Hello all,
my seemingly healthy mid-2010 Macbook running the latest version of OS 10.6 has suddenly become unresponsive and won't boot up past the initial grey screen. Below is a list of things that I thought were relevant:
Over the last few months there have been frequent (a few times a week when connecting via USB internet dongle) kernel panics associated with Telstra Sierra AirCard 320U (https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2776956?tstart=0 ; http://www.mac-forums.com/forums/os-x-operating-system/210007-continued-kernel-p anics-can-damage-my-machine.html )
Not sure if related, as this happened when not connected (but hadn’t signed out of USB modem account, which other users say could affect things).
Then yesterday, having removed dongle and connected to internet via ethernet (routed through modem to AirPort): -
Machine was really slow – almost freezing, then froze up.
Hard re-boot.
Got folder icon with question mark.
Did another hard re-boot and got the grey screen of death.
Tried re-booting with install disk.
Didn’t get far until I re-set SRM and PRAM, but once booted up and using disk utilities from install disk the hard drive wasn’t even showing. In Terminal it was listed as five disks of 500GB (approx.), the size of my hard drive, but couldn’t get to mount from Terminal.
On another re-boot (with option key) to choose start-up disk, the HD appeared, but as soon as I clicked on it, it ‘puffed’ (like when you remove an icon from the dock) away.
I read on a forum that a loose connection could be the fault (I just had a battery replaced at the Apple Store, so thought it could have been nudged then), so I removed and re-installed the hard drive.
This seemed to fix it and I booted up from the hard drive, logged in and everything seemed to be fine. I did a backup (previous was two days ago, but good to not lose anything!) to Time Machine, ran Disk Utility, verified disk, repaired permissions, looked at the SMART status and everything was fine.
Then the machine slowed down again. I opened Disk Utility again and the HD wasn’t even listed and slowly the machine froze again and now won't boot up even from the install disk. Just sitting on the grey screen of death. Have reset SMC and PRAM but no response.
Any suggestions very welcome!
Also, any insights into whether this is a HD problem or something else. I live very remotely, so taking it in for service is not feasible, due to both time, but mostly cost. If, despite the apparent OK SMART status and Disk Utility verification it is definitely the HD I can easily get another - if it's something else, well it might be time to buy a new mac.

After having no luck, I later tried removing and reinstalling HD, but that was no help. I then re-installed an old failed HD and was able to log in using Installation disk (but not prompt hardware test by holding D key at startup). Disk utility showed no HD (which may be expected as it was a failed drive). I then restarted again with no problem.
I powered down and returned the current HD and was able to start holding down C to boot from disk. Once I was in, Disk Utility showed my HD correctly and I performed a Verify on the disk and ‘Macintosh HD’ as well as repaired permissions on both and the result for all was a pass.
I then used the Startup tool to select the HD as the startup disk and this appeared to be successful. At the login screen I re-started again, this time in Safe Mode, which was also successful. I then saved some media files that are excluded from Time Machine backup and did a Time Machine backup to two separate disks. When I tried to check the time machine history of one of the disks (‘enter time machine’) the machine froze again. I selected restart from the options after pressing the power button, then restarted in Safe mode. Then I created a bootable clone on an external hard drive – just to be sure!
After updating software I then re-booted and ran Apple Hardware Test (extended) off the Installation disk, which ran for 2 hours and found no problems.
I am going to run a test on the RAM (even though I'm pretty sure the hardware test does that) - any other thoughts still very welcome!
I think the next step is to erase the disk and reinstall the operating system. I'm assuming something got corrupted there ...

I'm having contacts problems. I just updated my iPhone 4S iOS to 6.0.1. And after that, I started having Contacts problems. My contact list is disappearing automatically, and I have to Import SIM everytime, to bring the contacts back.

It all started after updating my software to iOS 6.0.1. Contact problems, disappearing automatically, and I have to IMPORT SIM everytime when it happens, to bring my contacts back. And this is happening more when I'm using Whatsapp application. Every two hours using Whatsapp, my contact list is dissapearing, I'm seeing only numbers. I thought it was an Whatsapp problem, but after that, when I go into my Phone's contact list, I can see nothing ! Empty ! So I guess it's a software problem or something. Please help. Thank you.

Try this first - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)
Or this - Delete the account in Mail and then set it up again. Settings->Mail, Contacts, Calendars -> Accounts Tap on the Account, then on the red button that says Remove Account.
