Sun MC Automated Install Script failing 50% of the time

Are there a set of tips in general for the script; or perhaps tips for the contents of the boom.cfg file to help increase the percentage of successful installs?
Thanks, [email protected]

Hi Mike,
In most of the SunMC autoinstall projects I've worked on, we ended up implementing 3 slightly different install/setup config files: one for 12-25k's, one for 3800-6900s, and one for "everything else". Then we put a bit of smarts in the main install script to decide which to use. The questions for each of those groups were different enough that it made sense to break them apart.
Are you using the base es-inst/es-setup commands? es-imagetool and agent-update.bin? es-makeagent? Some notes here: http://forums.halcyoninc.com/showthread.php?t=389 . Send me an email if you need help getting things off the ground.

Parent talking to child fails some of the time?

Hi All,
Have others found that sending a value (stored in a variable) from a parent (main timeline) to a child (movie clip) fails some of the time but only when the movie is running as a .swf (it never fails when testing in authoring)?
My main timeline's actionscript has:
XYZ_ChildMC.variableA = false; //parent talks to child movie clip
In the child MC script:
import fl.video.*;
var variableA;
function completeHandler(e: fl.video.VideoEvent): void
     if (variableA == false)
             myFLV.seek(0);
             myFLV..play();
This seems to fail about 5% of the time when running/rerunning the .swf in a browser.
Anyone have a similar experience?
Thanks

never had that problem. most likely you have a timing issue.
use the trace function or textfield to determine if completeHandler is executing before variableA is assigned.

Since I've installed F4, about 50% of the time it won't open.

Windows Vista is my OS. Since I've installed F4, about 50% of the time it won't open, despite the fact that it's listed as a process in the task mgr. I get no error message and have no trouble opening Google or IE. It happens when I've just turned my computer on and when it's already on and I go open F4 to do something. To rectify, I have to either reboot my computer (sometimes multiple times) or actually uninstall and reinstall F4.

I have found that the example given in this thread
"... you would need three smtp servers in your smtp server list, smtp.goddaddy.com:username1, smtp.goddaddy.com:username2, and smtp.goddaddy.com:username3"
also has issues. It appears that the Mail program gets confused if there are identical SMTP server names (and user names that are identical in the first 8 characters) in the list. I had a situation where I had smtp.goddaddy.com:username1, smtp.mac.com:username2, and smtp.goddaddy.com:username3. When trying to send mail from username3's account I kept getting the "can't send mail from SMTP server smtp.goddaddy.com:username1" error message. The message indicated to me that the program had confused the SMTP servers for username1 and username3. Also, the SMTP server for username3 was not in the drop down list available from the error message window from which you get the opportunity to change SMTP server designations. Account preferences looked good and the server list from there also contained the correct information. I changed the the server designation for username3 to smtp.gopapa.com:username3 (my ISP has alternate server designations) and everything works fine.

Automated install scheme fails with stty: no such

Hello,
Can someone please help me out with my crafty scheme? I want to do a mass deployment
of SunMC agents using both Jumpstart and web based deployment via N1SPS.
I have gone so far as to have read the install guide for Sun MC 4 and it is already out of date!
I haved used es-makeclient to create an install client with pkg response and config files
for es-setup and es-inst.
Then I roll the above into a Solaris pkg with a postinstall script. This worked up to a
point until I got a conclusion where the es-inst commands run out of the postinstall
script were waiting for the pkgadd of the "makeclient" process to complete. Does this
make sense so far?
So, to stop the above condition where 2 pkgadds concurrent were waiting for the
first to finish (held open by the postinstall script running the second pkgadd), I
changed postinstall to just be a bourne shell exec /var/tmp/sunmc_agent/finish,
with a modified version of the finish script described in the SunMC install guide.
But my finish script fails with spurious errors and I can't seem to resolve it.
Here is the procedure and the error message will be obvious when you
see "finish script begins now"

exit 0And so as you can see, "postinstall" runs 'finish" which is the boilerplate
from the SunMC4 install guide jumpstart section. Now the crazy thing is,
if I do the first pkgadd of my makeclient tarball and then run the "finish" script
from the CLI, then the install goes 100% perfect, so I know my responses files
are ok and my scripts are ok, but perhaps it is because I have spawned a subshell
and have no tty? The pkgadd started by es-inst fails because of a dir entry,
but it should just create it's own. Is there someway to get the subshell what it
needs to run my "finish" script correctly?
rachel

OK,
I fixed the stty problem by using #!/bin/sh -i
to give the impression of an interactive shell.
Bu I still get:
mkdir: Failed to make directory "/var/tmp/installnZa4GW/patchadd-3145325386"; No such file or directory
/usr/lib/patch/patchadd[18]: /var/tmp//installnZa4GW: not found
When es-inst is run. There is a person on here with a similar problem, unanswered.
I wonder if they found a solution, although it was 3.6.1?

[solved] Cannot complete install, grub fails to boot the new install

I'm using the 2009.08 USB image.
I've tried this 2 weeks ago, tried it again today, same result. (I'm on Win7 meanwhile).
I'm installing arch, everything goes fine.
I've tried 2 setups:
a)
100GB ext4 /
12GB swap
(no separate /boot, should work)
b)
100MB ext3 /boot
100GB ext4 /
12GB swap
Neither a) or b) will boot.
When the newly installed grub boots, I get a error saying:
filesystem type unknown, partition type 0x7
I get this for the ext3, ext4, and windows partitions.
I get it for both a) and b) setups.
I have doublechecked the menu.lst file. I've even created another entry setting root=/dev/sdb1 (as opposed to the default /dev/disks/by-uuid/..).
I should mention, I have two disks, the first (sda) is currently with a Win7 installation, the 2nd (sdb) is the one I'm trying to install Arch again (and failing).
After the reboot, I've tried booting into the livecd again and manually trying to mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt, it works.
Why isn't my grub boothing from ext{3,4}?

I was getting that error but after re-installing grub and making some changes to the menu.lst file it was fixed.
I was able to at one stage boot into arch but it gave problems with the root. Now it just seems to freeze while trying to load grub.
I am currently trying yet another install of grub. I have been noticing though that my menu.lst file has been rolling back or not updating when I chroot back into my install after changing it earlier.
Try mounting your /boot partition under /mnt/boot.

Push Notifications to APNS Fail 50% of the Time

Sending a notification to an iOS device fails half the time with this error:
The Push Notification System returned an Internal Server Error
Here is my setup:
Free Trial version of Azure
Sandbox certificates uploaded to a Mobile Service/Notification Hub
App developed with PhoneGap and built using Adobe's PhoneGap Build service
Using the com.microsoft.azure-mobile-services Cordova plugin
I am able to use either the DEBUG page on the Azure site, Visual Studio 2013 (Server Explorer -> Azure), or the ServiceBusExplorer open source program to send test JSON messages to Apple. It works, half the time, and the other half of the time I
receive the error above.
Steps to reproduce:
Open Visual Studio --> Server Explorer --> Azure. It points to my trial account.
Context-click on my Notification Hub a pick "Diagnose"
Under Device Registrations, I delete any registrations I've previously accumulated. There are now no device registrations.
Delete and re-install the test app on the iPhone (iOS 8)
Launch the test app. A new registration appears in the notification hub. The type is "Native." (I've also had problems with "Template.")
Go to the Test Send tab; Recipient: Broadcast; Message Type: Apple (Default)
I am using the default, sample notification (but I get similar outcomes with other JSON messages):
{"aps":{"alert":"Notification Hub test notification"}}
Hit "Send"; It fails. Under "Message Result:," for my single registration I have this error message: "The Push Notification System returned an Internal Server Error"
Wait 90 seconds, hit Send again. The notification works, it appears on the phone, the message result is "The Notification was successfully sent to the Push Notification System"
Wait another 90 seconds, hit Send again. The notification fails
with the same Internal Server Error that it did the first time.
Wait another 90 seconds, hit Send again. It works perfectly just like it did on the second attempt.
Overall it is working about half the time. In the example above, it worked every-other time, but this is not always the case--it can succeed multiple times in a row or fail multiple times in a row. I'm not changing the JSON at all between
the above test messages. Even if I vary the JSON, I get the same outcome. I get similar outcomes regardless of whether I do the testing through Visual Studio (above), the Azure portal (the DEBUG tab), or through the ServiceBusExplorer program.
What is causing this? How do I troubleshoot this?

Hi David,
I don't have an answer for you, but I wanted to chime in because I am having problems as well. I get the same "The Push Notification System returned an Internal Server Error" message trying to send a test push via either the Debug tab in the manage.windowsazure.com
console or in Visual Studio.
I have been focused on troubleshooting this problem since yesterday (Saturday February 21) but I believe it has been happening quite a bit longer.
At one point I was able to get some notifications through after clearing all the registrations, but now it is failing again. I have had the same certificate since last April (2014) and it has worked fine, so I know the certificate setup is good.
More data points:
using the SimplePush PHP script from
raywenderlich.com with the same certificate, the notifications go through immediately.
Normally we send notifications from our Mobile Service using the Javascript backend, and it gets a "success" response from the Notification Hub even when it fails, e.g.
{"isSuccessful":true,"statusCode":201,"body":"","headers":{"transfer-encoding":"chunked","content-type":"application/xml; charset=utf-8","server":"Microsoft-HTTPAPI/2.0","date":"Sun,
22 Feb 2015 05:05:20 GMT"}}
We have another notification hub with our production certificate, and it seems to be working better.

[SOLVED] Netbeans - Run fails - most of the time

Hello everybody,
I have just today installed Netbeans Verion 7.0 and all plugins are up to date.
I have a strage error with a simple "Hello World" program:
The program builds always fine, but it runs just in about 1 of 5 tries.
Here are some screenshots:

I also realized, that when I choose "Debug / Debug Main Project" this works all the time.
Any suggestions?

Paste option fails 50% of the time using iSupport via FireFox

At my job we use the iSupport online ticketing system via FireFox. However within the past year or so, the following has been happening:
If I have a piece of text I’ve copied, (for example the word ‘test’), and then I paste it into either of the above fields while creating any kind of ticket (Incident, Problem, etc), half of the time it will paste in said text, however the other half it will simply jump to the next line, like someone pressed the Enter key instead of paste. For example, if I want to paste something 4 times, I would get: proper paste, line jump, proper paste, line jump. It’s immediately reproducible.
Troubleshooting: This does not happen in Internet Explorer or Chrome. It appears related specifically to FireFox code because another browser I use, Waterfox, which is a 64 bit build of FireFox, suffers from the same problem. Starting FireFox in safe mode with no addons yield the same results. This also happens on multiple computers. We have been using iSupport for at least a year now and I believe that this wasn’t happening when we first started using it, so I’m not sure if a change in iSupport is the culprit, or FireFox is.
Please let me know if you are familiar with this problem and what I might be able to do to get this fixed, as it’s insanely annoying while trying to get tickets completed. Thank you.
Here is a screenshot of what our normal ticket window looks like, someone from Mozilla might be familiar with it: http://i.imgur.com/nxurtM5.png

_DESCRegisterDockExtraClient failed Error All The Time

Can someone please tell me why I keep getting this error in my console log so often:
_DESCRegisterDockExtraClient failed
My iMac stalls at startup when it does this so I immediately know for sure that I will see the error in the console log once the iMac has booted. It doesn't happen every time I startup. It seems like the iMac goes through "phases" where it will do this on every startup for a couple of days, then it doesn't do it at all for a week. I've checked the hardware and software with Disk Utility, TechTool Pro 5, checked all the RAM, reset PRAM, reset SMU - done everything in the book including starting up from the Leopard startup CD and running AHT. No problems reported.
Thanks to anyone who can tell me what this means and why it happens. Below is a search for the times it has happened in the past 5 weeks:

HI Gerard,
Since this doesn't happen everytime you start the Mac, if you can, go to System Preferences/Accounts - Login Items. Delete any login items listed and restart the Mac.
And go to: MacintoshHD/Library/Startup Items. Delete any files there.
Try starting up with only the necessary external hardware. Disconnect printers / scanners... etc. and see if that makes a difference.
Try starting up in Mac OS X: Startup in Safe Mode
Resolve startup issues and perform disk maintenance with Disk Utility and fsck

Wmi script to find out the time when the user was added to local administration group

Hi Friends,

WMI does not keep security information.
Unless you have enabled auditing, this information is not retained in any way.
If auditing is enabled, you can write a powershell script to look for the specific event in the eventlog. More specifically, you should look for all security events with id 4732 containing the group.
this one command does the trick
get-eventlog -logname security -instanceid 4732 -message *administrators*

Hilarious!! After CS5 install Flash Player crashes all the time

Hi,
maybe Steve Jobs is right. Mac Pro 10.6.3, 12 GB RAM, 3 GHz 8-cores, everything is running peachy.
I install CS5 Premium Design Trial, while installing asks me to quit Safari and Firefox. It install Flash Player 10.1.
Now Safari crashes ALL the time. Multiple sites, NYTimes, HuffPost, etc.etc.
I wonder why Adobe is doing everything possible to make SJ right.
De-install, back to old Flash, seems to work.

They probably packaged it before the latest release candidate was ready.
Anyway - it would be better to discuss that problem in a CS5 forum - is there one?

Unattended silent install script fails on Windows 7 x64

Hello,
We are an IT managed services provider and use RMM tools like Kaseya and LabTech to manage our clients' machines.
We are trying to write a deployment script to deploy and/or update Java on Windows XP/7 machines. We are having difficulty deploying Java in silent mode on Windows 7 x64 using our RMM tool and thought you would be able to shed some light as to why this happens. We can successfully silently deploy Java on Windows 7 x86 and Windows XP using the RMM tool, together with other software like Acrobat Reader, Flash player and Firefox.
When we manually run the installer with the /quiet switch through the command prompt, installation completes successfully. However, when we use our RMM tool to deploy Java with the same switch, installation hangs: when looking at Task Manager, the Java installer hangs indefinitely and must be manually killed. Also, the installer runs as the SYSTEM user, if that makes any difference.
Can anyone advise what is the reason that the installer hangs and doesn't complete the installation?
Thanks.

Hi
I experience the exact same problem. Erez - did you find a solution?

After Mavericks Install, MBP runs hot all the time

Im sure this has been said all over the community but I have to add my two cents. My 2011 MBP was perfect on Mtn Lion. I started the update which failed on install, which I then had to wipe the HD and do a fresh install. My time machine backup wouldnt even restore, that was a fun night let me tell you. Anyways, ever since I installed Mavericks, not only do I have the service battery issue everyone else has but now even running firefox or watching a movie will make the laptop run super hot and the fans start going. Ive even had the MBP shut itself down twice b/c of the overheating. Example: I almost couldnt even get time machine to make a new first time backup b/c the laptop starting running hot during the backup and it shut itself down. The second attempt worked but it sure seemed like it was on the verge of shutting down again. I just tried resetting the SMC but I dont think it did anything if you want my honest opinion.
I hope apple is listening and realizes what mess mavericks is making of our older macbooks.

I did do the verify/repair disk, and there is nothing wrong with the disk. Havent had a chance yet to boot in safe mode. Will post an update shortly but in the meantime:

Login fails most of the time!

Hi Guys,
I'm having issues loggin in to skype in the morning at work. I'm using my MS account, with two-factor authentication enabled. When trying to login I'm typing my user/pass, then I'm being asked for my authentication code; after that, skype takes a really really long time to authenticate (30-40 seconds), it fails and I'm taken back to the account selection screen (where I need to specify whether I'm planning on using a MS/Skype account).
If I retry this for 6-7 times, it will eventually succeed in loggin in.
This has been happening for a while now.
Any suggestions ?

What wireless router are you using?
What firmware revision is it running? Is it 2.4ghz or 5ghz?
Wireless has become more and more used and hence the chance for interference has grown by leaps and bounds. Even in your own household there can be AV senders, cordless phones, baby monitors, front door bells and cameras.. all running wireless on 2.4ghz. To say nothing of the neighbours.
So it can be software driver issues.. a hardware failure issue.. or just plain old noise issue.
When the wireless does connect, hold down the option key and click the airport symbol in the top menu area.
It will show you some info on the connection.. including noise and link speed.
Or open terminal and type airport -I
Here is what I get.

I suggest you manually try at least the main non-overlapping channels in the wireless router.. so set to channel 1, 6 and 11 to test in turn if any work better.
