Terminal: unable to read "/private/etc/cups/cups-files.conf" due to errors

Terminal is giving me the message above every 10 seconds making it impossible to write any lines without the error message breaking up the line. Any suggestions on how to resolve this issue?

Back up all data.
Select
Shell ▹ New Command
from the Terminal menu bar. Uncheck the box marked
Run command inside a shell
if checked.
Copy and paste the following line into the text box that opens, then press return:
mkdir disabled_shell_files
Close the Terminal window that opens. Repeat with this line:
mv .profile .bash_history .bash_profile .bashrc .inputrc disabled_shell_files
Your old shell initialization and history files will be saved in a directory named "disabled_shell_files" at the top level of your home directory. It's normal that some of these files will not exist, and therefore you will get some "no such file" errors.
Close the window, open a new one, and test.

Terminal Error: Unable to read "/private/etc/cups/cups-files.conf" due to errors.

After finding out that my Kodak ESP C310 printer was no longer printing after installing OS X Yosemite, I tried entering these into the terminal to get the driver working again.
sudo sh -c 'echo "Sandboxing Relaxed" >> /etc/cups/cups-files.conf'
sudo launchctl stop org.cups.cupsd
Nothing happened the first time I tried it, so I tried it again with still no luck. Now within seconds of opening the terminal I get this message :
" /private/etc/cups/cups-files.conf"
It pops up every few seconds, so it is practically impossible for me to type anything into the terminal without it popping up right in the middle. I tried the fix from the other discussion on this issue, and that didn't work. also I'm noticing that my printer isn't even added under "printers and scanners" anymore. I tried to re-add it, but I cannot without a driver that functions with 10.10.1
Any suggestions on how I should deal with this?

Try to install win 2003 server software, do the fresh installation of oracle software, now copy the datafiles and controlfiles to same locations as you did on winxp.
get back to us, if still not out of the woods. I still doubt that a simple restore would do the trick, since you doing it across different platforms, might be I can be wrong, but this is what I personally feel, you not able to start the database on winxp.

Java App on Linux : Unable to read iso-8859-1 encoded file correctly.

I have a file which is encoded as iso-8859-1, and contains characters such as ô .
I am reading this file with java code, something like:
File in = new File("myfile.csv");
InputStream fr = new FileInputStream(in);
byte[] buffer = new byte[4096];
while (true) {
int byteCount = fr.read(buffer, 0, buffer.length);
if (byteCount <= 0) {
break;
String s = new String(buffer, 0, byteCount,"ISO-8859-1");
System.out.println(s);
However the ô character is always garbled, usually printing as a ? .
I am running this on a Linux machine. It works fine on my XP machine.
I have verified that I can see the correct characters when I cat the file on the terminal.
(Interestingly, but I think maybe only by co-incidence, it works when I run with the -Dfile.encoding=UTF16 option, but not with UTF8, although this appears a hack rather than a fix since this option was not intended for developer use by sun - but I thought mentioning it may provide some clues as to what is going on)

I think your main probelm is with the console. When you send text to the console, it's sent in the system default encoding. On an English-locale system that might be ASCII, ISO-8859-1, windows-1252, UTF-8, MacRoman, and probably several other possibilities. Then the console decodes the the bytes using whatever encoding it feels like using--on my WinXP machine, it uses cp437 by default (just for laughs, as far as I can tell). If the text happens to be pure, seven-bit ASCII, there's no problem, since all those encodings are identical in that range.
But if you need to output anything other than ASCII characters, avoid the console. Send the output to a file and specify an encoding that you know will be able to handle your characters--UTF-8 can handle anything. Then open the file with an editor that can read that encoding; most of them can handle UTF-8 these days, and many will even detect it automatically. You also need to be using a font that can display your characters.
However, you're also going about the reading part wrong. Instead of reading the text in as bytes and passing them to a String constructor, you should use an InputStreamReader and read it as text from the beginning: BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(
new InputStreamReader(
new FileInputStream("myfile.csv"), "ISO-8859-1"));I am curious about your statement that "it works" when you run with the -Dfile.encoding=UTF16 option. I wouldn't be surprised to see it output the correct characters (ASCII characters, anyway), but I would expect to see the characters interspersed with blank spaces or rectangles.

4.1 rc1 - unable to read monochrome Sigma DP X3F files

Sigma DP2s
LR 4.1 rc1
I import .X3F files to LR catalogue from SD card via card reader.
LR reads and allows me to edit these OK
If I then edit the .X3F files using Sigma Photo Pro v5.1, and change WB to "Monochrome", then save the modification to the raw file (in SPP5.1), and then attempt to look at it in LR in the develop module, I get the error "There was a problem working with the file"..
Followed by "Lightroom has encountered problems reading this photo. You will not be able to make adjustments to the photo."
I have tried this a number of times with different X3F image files with the same result.
I have tried (separately) synchronizing, deleting and re-importing the file with the same result.
LR3 worked perfectly in this regard - if a .X3F file was imported, then changed using SPP5.1 to mono, the effect would be immediately seen in LR without errors.
NB If I then set the WB back from monochrome in SPP5.1, LR is able to work with theimage file again with noerrors.
I have also encountered similar error messages when trying to export jpgs from edited .tiff files created using a film scanner, which may be related. When or if I can reproduce that I will start a separate thread.

Lightroom is raw conversion software and once your camera is supported it will be able to process the raw data. However if you use other raw conversion software to process the raw data or partially process the raw file you have altered the raw file and Lightroom will no longer be able to process. With raw data you can only choose one chef.

Permissions errors? ./private/etc/authorization, should be 80, group is 0

in the past 3 days i've been finding a error show up- on several machines- where programs would quit before they would even start up.
the only way i've found to fix it, has been to run "Disk Utility" and repair the permissions for the drive management.
Repairing permissions for “Macintosh HD”
Determining correct file permissions.
Group differs on ./private/etc/authorization, should be 80, group is 0
Owner and group corrected on ./private/etc/authorization
Permissions corrected on ./private/etc/authorization
has anyone else found this error? where is this coming from?

Thanks!
Until I fixed this error using Disk Utility, I couldn't install a 3rd party software app. I didn't log in as root to do it either, just repaired permissions and the install "took" the second time. I'm a member of the admin group... at least I thought I was! My user account says I'm an administrator and I'm the only user on this mac... any way to see what my user account rights are? I know netinfo, but I don't know how to interprate it?

ASA: CRYPTO_PKI: Unable to read CA/RA certificates

Hello,
I have setup a Win2003 Server where I install a CA/RA server for SCEP enrollment of my ASA5510. I entered the following config on the ASA:
domain-name mydomain.com
crypto key generate rsa
crypto ca trustpoint MYTRUSTPOINT
crl optional
enrollment url http://x.x.x.x/certsrv/mscep/mscep.dll
subject-name cn=ASA5510
Meanwhile I configured the CA Server for SCEP support by intalling the mscep executable from the Resource Kit.
If I try to get the CA's Certificate using crypto ca authenticate MYTRUSTPOINT, i only get this error messages on my ASA console:
Crypto CA thread wakes up!
CRYPTO_PKI: Sending CA Certificate Request:
GET /certsrv/mscep/mscep.dll/pkiclient.exe?operation=GetCACert&message=ITSS HTTP
/1.0
Host: x.x.x.x
CRYPTO_PKI: http connection opened
CRYPTO_PKI: Unable to read CA/RA certificates.Crypto CA thread sleeps!
ERROR: receiving Certificate Authority certificate: status = FAIL, cert length = 0
I have tried to reinstall the CA and SCEP over and over again but I still get the same error all the time. Is there anything wrong with my config?
Please help me with my problem. I promise to give 5-points to anybody who can help me solve my problem. Thank you in advance.

Hi,
Yes now I see the Bug details. But the one I am actually using is a ASA5510, I have also already upgraded it to 7.2.2 (from previous 7.0.7). I have tried this same setup before using Windows2000 Server and ASA5520, and it works. But this time I am having quite a trouble making this thing work.

8iR3; EJB deploy; "Unable to read class bits" error

Hi,
I have a strange situation going on at the moment. Every time I wish to deploy an EJB to 8iR3, the JDeveloper Message View shows the following (after app specific messages):
"Reading Deployment Descriptor...done
Verifying Deployment Descriptor...done
Gathering users...done
Generating Comm Stubs...............................................done
Compiling Stubs...done
Generating Jar File...done
Loading EJB Jar file and Comm Stubs Jar file...
Unable to read class bits from library/sqlhelper/sjb/SQLHelperOperations.class
*** Errors occurred while deploying the EJB to 8i JVM ***
*** Deployment completed ***
If I then just redeploy without changing a thing, it deploys fine and everything works.
I haven't seen a post on this forum like this, is there a configuration problem at my end?
Cheers,
Jono

I think it is due to the fact that I am writing a 'business interface' for my EJB, then including it in my deployment package.
This technique is recommended in O'Reilly's 'Enterprise Java Beans' 2nd Edition p344 to ensure the bean interface and the bean match their signature.
I don't get the 'class bits' error when I write EJB from the wizard, but when I add a business interface it happens first deploy, and is OK for the second one.
Hope this helps anyone else who is getting this behaviour, I guess we'll have to see what happens in OC4J/Orion.

Repaing Permissions = Group Differ on "private/etc/cups", should be 0, grou

Repaing Permissions = Group Differ on "private/etc/cups", should be 0, groups is 26.
It says this everytime, even when it was brand new...
What does this mean? Whay doesn't it go away after repairing?

This error message has been occurring since Mac OS X 10.5.4 I believe, it's not harmful in any way to the operation of your Mac, so I wouldn't worry about it. I'm sure Apple will have this fixed in a future update.

ERROR when repairing permissions: Group differs on "private/etc/cup"

Hi,
When I run permissions repair on my Leopard 10.5.4 I get the error message:
ERROR when repairing permissions: Group differs on "private/etc/cup", Should be 0, group is 26
Any idea why... It pops up every time I run permissions repair so I don't think it is really getting repaired.
Thanks.

Ignore it. It's been reported as a bug and is under investigation.

Group differs on "private/etc/cups", should be 0, group is 26.

Greetings.
After performing Verify Disk Permission, i have this massage:
*Group differs on "private/etc/cups", should be 0, group is 26.*
Immediately i performed Repair Disk Permission but in the end i still get this massage.
Any idea what dose that means?
Thank you so much.
Cheers.

Why? Who says it's a bug worth worrying about?
Ever since Repair Permissions was introduced (around 10.1.5 I seem to remember, although it was 10.2 before it was integrated into Disk Utility) there have been occurrences of these "spurious" errors.
Take a look at these:
Spurious Permissions errors in 10.2
Spurious Permission errors in OS X 10.3
Spurious Permission errors in OS X 10.4
Some of these disappeared with point updates, others didn't. They did not prevent anyone's system working. They were acknowledged as unimportant in this article: Disk Utility reports some messages that you can ignore when checking permissions.
I didn't write an equivalent for 10.5, because there were so many ACL and SUID errors which changed with each version, see Mac OS X 10.5: Disk Utility's Repair Disk Permissions reports issues with SUID files.
This particular message is of no consequence. It may or may not disappear with the next system update. But if it bothers you, the answer is simple: stop Repairing Permissions!

/private/etc/cups folder is missing

I am working tech support for a college and a faculty member currently working abroad called in with a problem that Microsoft Word for Mac would lock up everytime he tried to save or print a file. I remoted into his machine and I tried the usual suspects and was able to determine that nothing would print at all from any app, and in fact when I went to system preferences and tried to open the printers, it locked up system preferences. Digging deeper, I discovered that I was getting this message in console:
com.apple.launchd[1] (org.cups.cupsd) Throttling respawn: Will start in 10 seconds
The error kept repeating. I researched and found this thread:
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2151368?start=0&tstart=0
Which led me to try these terminal commands:
sudo cp /etc/cups/cupsd.conf /etc/cups/cupsd.conf.old
sudo cp /etc/cups/cupsd.conf.default /etc/cups/cupsd.conf
I got an error in terminal that "No such file or directory existed"
So I checked and sure enough, inside of /private/etc/ there was no folder for cups. Its just gone. I assume that the folder being missing is the root of the problem, but I cant figure out how to get it back for him, especially considering that I am trying to assist him remotely. Any help or advice would be appreciated.
