TERMINFO environment dropped when using sudo -E or sudioedit

Hey guys,
I use the termite terminal which uses the termcap file 'xterm-termite'. Since this is non-standard I have to copy over the termcap file to remote machines I commonly work on. I put this file in `$HOME/.local/share/terminfo/x/xterm-termite` and set my $TERMINFO environment variable to `$HOME/.local/share/terminfo`.
When I use sudo -E or sudoedit it looks like the TERMINFO environment variable is getting lost. So vim won't display things properly (no colors) and other silly problems (LESS 'Warning terminal is not fully functional").
Why does the TERMINFO get dropped when my other environment variables stick around?
Edit: Looking at the TROUBLESHOOTING document, I see that TERMINFO is removed "to guard against shared library spoofing, shell voodoo, and kerberos server spoofing."
What are my options? I would really rather not copy my termcap file into /usr/share/terminfo since I might not always have root access on my remote machines.
Edit 2: I feel a little silly. I just said I may not have root access. But if I'm using sudo it's almost guaranteed for root access! I'll leave this thread open for other solutions though.

Per chance are each of your IP phones wireless portable phones? Do they happen to operate in the 2.4 GHz band? If so, this would be the reason for the drop-offs. Also, I'm not sure why, if true, this would not affect your Mac ... unless it is connected by Ethernet.

Connections drop when using Cisco Anyconnect Secure Mobility Client

Folks I have a strange issues. I have a few laptops that I'm testing using the Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client Network Access Manager. We like the interface and overall are happy, but have one nagging issue. Periodically the connection drops when using the client, and the only way to reconnect is to choose the Network repair option on the client. That fixes it just fine, but we shouldn't have to do this. The same clients using the built in WIndows supplicant do not have this problem. We are on version 3.0.07059.

Right now I'm testing on a single access point (autonomous) with WEP! The same laptop works fine without the Cisco client. Usually it is several hours, 12 or more when it happens, but I've seen it less than that. And I've seen it up for over a day and a half. At this point I just don't trust the client to roll out to a larger audience.

Airtunes drops when using Windows XP, but not Mac

We're currently using the AirPort Express as our wireless router, and everything works great from a connection standpoint. No problems with our MacPro or XP laptop.
However, when using XP to play AirTunes, the audio constantly drops out (itunes will pause, and then come back within a few seconds, green light on the APX stays lit). We've tried closing all other programs & processes, and even uploaded the 6.3 firmware for Windows, but still get the drop-outs. Never once had a problem with the Mac, even after the firmware change.
Also tried using a Linksys wireless router as our hub and connecting the APX to the network. same issues.
I haven't been able to find anything on the site about this, anybody else having this problem?
MacPro Mac OS X (10.4.9) Toshiba Laptop w/ Windows XP

I'm experiencing something similar.
I have a TECOM wireless router with a a single win XP PC connected and two airport express stations for playing music remotely.
Green light still on, but iTunes frequently loses sight of the remote speakers after some period of time.
The solution thats often works is to disconnect and reconnect XP to the wifi network. But I'm not really happy with this (boring) method.
If anyone knew a setting that could help...

Resolution drops when using type effect over image

Using a type effect over an image causes the resolution to drop below acceptable levels (211 dpi). The client has used a glow effect around text to knock back the image for better legibility. The image is 300 dpi, the text box is transparent with an outer glow effect. I matched the effect with a drop shadow using white but the problem still happens. I've increased the resolution of the image to 600 dpi, same problem. My transparency flattener presets: Raster / Vector Balance 100, Line art and text resolution 2400ppi, Gradient and mesh resolution 400ppi. Downsampling for PDF export is off. Printing postscript doesn't solve the problem. I've solved the issue by recreating the effect in Photoshop and turning the effect in InDesign off. This is in CS6, but I've opened the file in CC 2014 and have the same problem. Anyone have a solution?
Thanks!

The problem is within the digital file that's exported or postscripted to our PDF workflow. Preflighting in InDesign indicates no problems but the exported PDF in Acrobat shows the problem. Prinergy and Printready both fail the refine as our lowest acceptable limit is 280dpi. The PDF looks fine, the problem will be when the (offshore) printer preflights the PDF and sees the resolution problem. The issue is with the InDesign effect reducing the resolution - only in the area under the text box. All the images, text etc are CMYK. If I turn off the effect the PDF is all good.

Audio drops when using Three-Way Color Corrector in CS6

Hello all,
I recently encountered a very odd issue while editing a friends wedding video using Adobe Premiere Pro CS6. I had an interview with a guest laid over a music track and had all the audio adjustments made to both audio tracks so that the levels were where I wanted them. I then added the Three-Way Color Corrector to the video track and corrected the footage to my liking. When I played back this section of the wedding video, half way through the person's interview, his audio cut out. The audio from the music track was still playing, so it was not that audio drop that most people are familiar with within Premiere. I even muted the music track and played back the mentioned section of video and at the same exact point in time his audio just cuts out completely. I checked to see if any weird key frames had been added and nothing had been touched (that I could see). Also, the audio waveforms were still visible. I deleted the Three-Way Color Corrector effect off of the clip and suddenly there were no more audio problems. Eventually, needing color correction, I added an adjustment layer and assigned the Three-Way Color Corrector to that and had no issues, but I still don't see what could have been the problem, and it seems like a glitch to me. Has anyone ever had this happen to them? If so, what are your thoughts? Thanks!

Battery Drops When Using Plugged In

Hello,
I charge my phone each night by connecting it to the computer and by the next day, as expected, the battery is at 100%
However, if I use the phone without ever unplugging it, the phone will drop to 98-97% The battery icon indicates it's still plugged in with the plug symbol displayed inside the battery icon.
I do have apps running in the background because I don't care to shut them all off before I go to bed each night.
Any information on this, or others finding the same thing? Perhaps the 5.0.1 update will address this.

That is a good thing to do. It will extend the life of your battery. Run the battery down to 40% and store it someplace cool. Every month or so be sure and use the battery and charge it and drain it to 40% before storing it again.
I put the power option to performance when plugged into the external power pack. It is your own option as to which power option you use.
Best regards,
erico

FPS drop when using movie clips.

Hello, first of all excuse my English it's not my main
language.
I'm working with a portfolio in Flash CS4 (actionscript 2.0
if that would matter). The portfolio has buttons, each button is
connected to a movie clip, so when you press the button a movie
clip starts playing (It's in the background all the time though
alpha is at 0%). The movie clip contains another two movie clips,
both of those goes from 0% alpha, to 100% alpha and then back to 0%
alpha. There is also a button on top of the two movie clips. So all
and all it's a movie clip containing two other movie clips and one
button.
Anyway, when I have about 3 buttons and movie clips there is
no problem, but when I add 4-5 or more the FPS get's very low when
the movie clip plays.
I have tried to change the FPS from 25 to 40 etc. but there
is no change. I have also tried Flash Player 9 and 10.
I don't think the problem is my computer, since I've exported
it as a movie and tried on friends computers.
Thanks in advance.

It depends what is in your movie clips, and how much is
happening during the alpha transitions. The playback speed depends
on how much work the processor has to do. If you have a lot of
large elements - for example, photos that you resized in Flash -
moving around, changing alpha, all at the same time, it will slow
down performance.
Try to simplify your graphics. So, if you are using bitmap
images, resize them before importing them to Flash. Then try
removing some of your graphics and see if it speeds up performance.
This will help you to locate the problem.

Airport connection drops when using external monitor

I just bought a new monitor to use as a 2nd display for my Macbook. Problem is, as soon as I plug it in, my wireless connection just kills over and dies a horrible death, but as soon as I unplug my MiniDisplay to DVI adapter, it works great.
I've been searching around and there were a few topics on this, but it didn't really look like anyone had a definitive answer for what to do. Some suggested that the DVI cable wasn't shielded and that was causing RF interference, but my DVI cable has the little round plugs at each end.
Is there any other possibilities to fix this?
Thanks

I was having this same problem for quite some time, and several Genius Bar people were not able to diagnose the problem. I checked back from time to time on the net to see if anyone had figured this out, and someone now has. For me, it was as simple as changing the channel option of the airport express from automatic to a manual selection...in my case "6." I've seen a couple posts on this now and some switch from 11 to 6, or vice versa. Mine was set up for automatic selection, so I first manually selected 11. That didn't help, but selecting 6 fixed things immediately. Here's the thread that helped me: http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=11051427
and since I found it's not that easy if you don't know how, here are directions for changing the channel on your airport express:

Devtools update causes problems with sudo when used in a script?

I'm a little confused by this one, but I'm not convinced that it's a bug.. yet.
Long story short, I compile packages using the ABS via a script/wrapper which uses devtools. The script is available here: https://github.com/WorMzy/compilepackage
Now, this script is far from perfect, but has worked perfectly well (in various states of completeness) for the past year or so. However, with the recent update of devtools (20120720-1 => 20121013-1), my script fails to execute correctly. After entering the password when prompted (by sudo, at this line: https://github.com/WorMzy/compilepackag … tions#L107), the script terminates unexpectedly.
Downgrading devtools "fixes" this problem, but I'm not sure if this is a bug in devtools, sudo, zsh, my script, or something else.

Update: It appears that the cause is systemd's nspawn. Disabling it in mkarchroot (have_nspawn=0) resolves the problem.
However, I don't understand why it's causing this behaviour. User input works fine for the sudo password prompt, but then fails for the pacman user prompt? Do they use different input buffers or something? Does that question even make sense?
Anyway, I'll open a bug report on flyspray and upstream about this when I get the chance.

Drop down menus on iPad, the first selection in the drop down will not load as a selection when using safari, what can I do?

Drop down menus on iPad, the first selection in the drop down will not load as a selection when using safari, what can I do? I use this for my mobile, on-site auto repair business and not being able to call up repair and diagnostic info and reference for some cars is troublesome for sure. It works fine on the computer and I have installed a remote desktop app as a workaround but it is unreliable because the desktop is not business dedicated and may be off or in use at the time. So is there a known fix for this?
Let me paint a more descriptive picture, visualize 4 drop down selection menus, first one is for year, next one is for make, 3rd one is model and the last one is for engine size/type. If I wanted to choose a 2012 vehicle it wont work because it is the top selection on the list. This can be forced by selecting any other year and then coming back to 2012. Ok fine, but then let's say I wanted to choose Acura as the make, well it won't take it because again it's the top selection. Again you work around it be selecting any other make and coming back to Acura. Ok now select the model, same trend follows. But now since most Acura vehicles come with dedicated engines and no optional engines I have only 1 selection in that final drop down menu and it will not take my selection and therefore never let me proceed to the info I need.
This is also true when ordering parts from my wholesaler's website, they use drop downs and I can only get to that last drop down and then I'm stuck. This is blindingly frustrating, what options do I have. I'm not opposed to any avenue at this point.

Did you ever figure this out? I bought my iPad last week to use in my business as well. I assume you are trying to use alldata? That is where I noticed this same issue. I had problems with identifix working with safari but downloaded a different browser and that works fine. Alldata does not work with either browser. The main difference is that on identifix if there is only one engine selection, it automatically selects the only option and continues to the home page. With alldata you have to make the selection manually even if there is only one option. Honestly if I can't get this to work I am going to return the iPad as it looses a significant amount of usefulness to men

MBA drops wifi when using an external monitor

My MBA 1.6 GHz has an issue when using only an external monitor. That is when re-awoken after a sleep, with the portable's monitor closed and using both an Apple external keyboard and mouse, my wifi connection to my time capsule drops. It does this consistently and I suspect a hardware issue as the same thing happened under leopard.
Is anyone experiencing this issue? Does anyone know of a test I could preform to establish what is failing? Does this require a hardware repair? Any help with this would be appreciated!

We have developed a desktop application using Flash software and published the same for MAC environment. When we double click on the index.app file, the application is working perfectly in Mac 10.6.7 at our office. But if the same index.app file is double clicked in Mac 10.6.7 at out clients location, its not opening. For your information the client is able to open this same application by double clicking on index.swf file. The main problem is that client is not able to open the application using index.app file at their office whereas we are able to do so at our office. Can anyone give some suggestions to sort this problem?

The most common reason is different versions of Flash, or different versions of web browsers used. Some users may elect to not have Flash installed at all because of the processor overhead of Flash. If you are going to make an application for a client, check what operating system and browser versions they are using first. Then determine if a stand alone application is required, or if they have the necessary plugins to run specific browser enhanced code.

Dbms_crypto - avoid error when using different key in lower environment

Hello Experts,
We are using Oracle 11.2.0.2. We are planning to implement dbms_crypto to encrypt few columns. We clone the data from production to lower environment ( DEV, QC).
For the lower environments, we do not want to get the sensitive data from production and do not plan to use same key. Rather than getting an error when using differnt key, is it possible to get a different resultset back.
In other words, we want the implementation to be same across environments but want to use a diffent key in lower environment and get different result (or garbage).
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
While testing this logic, I am getting following error when using differnt key to decrypt. It works fine if I use same key.

Flicker when using drop shadow with edge feather

I have encountered a new problem with FCP 5.1.2. When using edge feather and drop shadow together, I encounter a flicker around the edge of the feathered video image. This flicker goes away if I remove the drop shadow. I read in an earlier post that the 5.02 update solved this problem. However, I am using version 5.1.2 and the sugestion to reajust the percentage of the effect and then back to the original percentage, doesn't work. I have used the edge feather, drop shadow combo many times in earlier versions of FCP with no problem. Fixes anyone?
I posted this months ago with no reply so I'm trying again. Anyone with any thoughts? I really don't like having to resort to creating the drop shadow in Photoshop.

What I am trying to do is very simple. I want to soften the edges of an image and give it a drop shadow. This "image" could be a scaled and cropped DV source, or it could be a photoshop file. This is something I have done routinely in previous versions of FCP without any problem. This is very basic. I have opened earlier projects that were edited in those earlier versions of FCP, and what looked fine then, looks horrible now. If others are not having this problem, can I assume my software upgrade is defective in some way?
Please, if someone would perform the following and report back, I would greatly appreciate it.
1- import two DV video files into a new FCP project.
2- place DV file "A" on the V1 track
3- create a V2 track and place DV file "B" over DV file "A"
4- scale DV file "B" to 50% and apply a 100% Edge Feather to it.
5- now check the Drop Shadow box
This will look fine on your computer screen, but when viewing on an external monitor the edges of DV file "B" flicker in a terribly annoying way.
Something this simple and basic shouldn't be causing this much pain. Thanks in advance for your help.
