Try outs

My trial version of photoshop elements 11, did not completely down load. HELP!

Can you please be more detailed? Are you getting an error message? How are you saying 'did not completely download'? Did the download break in the browser itself or is the downloaded file not opening the installer properly?

How do you try out an application and keep $HOME clean afterwards

As a new Gnome user, naturally I turned to evolution for an email client well integrated with Gnome. As it turned out, I couldn't find any love for it, so I removed the package. But the problem was that it left behind in several places stuff I no longer wanted.
I had prepared for just that. During the try-out of evolution, I had inotify monitor the files it laid its hands on:
$ inotifywait -mr -e CREATE -e MODIFY -e DELETE ~
The list I got from this:
create ~/.pki/nssdb/{cert9.db,key4.db,pkcs11.txu}
create ~/.config/evolution/*
create ~/.local/share/evolution/*
modify ~/.config/dconf/user
modify ~/.local/share/gvfs-metadata/home*
add password to ~/.local/share/keyrings/login.keyring (gnome-keyring)
download mails etc. to ~/.cache/evolution/
Obviously the cleanup was not as easy as simply removing files/folders, I had to:
clean up dconf database:
$ dconf reset -f /org/gnome/evolution/
$ dconf read /org/gnome/desktop/notifications/application-children
['gnome-network-panel', 'nautilus', 'evolution']
$ dconf write /org/gnome/desktop/notifications/application-children "['gnome-network-panel', 'nautilus']"
$ dconf reset -f /org/gnome/desktop/notifications/application/evolution/
clean up login password stored in gnome-keyring: install and run `seahorse', delete the entry "Evolution Data Source XXXXXXXXXX.XXXX.XX@hostname".
clean up data and config:
$ rm -rf ~/.cache/evolution/ ~/.local/share/evolution/ ~/.config/evolution/
I don't know about the NSS stuff, but since no other applications seem to use it (IIRC NSS is used by Chromium, which I don't use), I simply remove it all:
$ rm -rf ~/.pki/
gvfs metadata stuff I really don't know about; ignoring.
As you can see, It takes some long hard work to simply try out an application like evolution while keeping my $HOME intact.
I imagine I could have tried it out under another user (correctly named "tester"), or maybe used some kind of filesystem snapshot (which ext4 lacks afaik), or some kind of sandbox. Too much hassle maybe?
My question to you is how do you do a throw-away trace-free test-run of an application?

lolilolicon wrote:@firecat53, I'm not sure I understand (I don't have an idea of the tools you just mentioned), but I feel that virtual machines seem to be overkill/over-complicating? For trying out they may be very suitable, but for daily use they don't seem to be very convenient.
Heh, to me having to mess with dconf databases and moving $HOME seem way more complicated!
So if you just do a quick Arch install into a virtual machine (you can expedite it by mounting a shared directory and sharing/copying your /var/cache/pacman/pkg directory to avoid re-downloading all your installed packages). Configure it as you wish. Now create a shapshot of the virtual machine as it now exists. This is almost a one-click operation in Virtualbox. Now you have a 'saved state'. Boot up the VM, install the package you want to test...change things, break things, whatever. When you're done, shutdown the VM and select the option to 'Discard current state' or some such. Now the VM reverts back exactly to how you set it up originally. Keep it updated just like your regular system (or in whatever state you need for testing) and snapshot it after an update. You can discard old snapshots when you're comfortable with your current update.
The other other tools I mentioned are just tools that can deploy and configure multiple virtual machines (for example for developers to be able work collaboratively in identical environments). Probably overkill for what you need.
I think you will spend less time getting a suitable test VM configured then you will trying to worry about filesystem snapshots and monkeying with environment variables. Just my two cents

NEED HELP: Where can I try out the iOS SDK in Melbourne, Australia?

hey guys, i'd love to try developing for the iOS SDK and from what i can tell the only way i'll know if i can develop for it is actually doing it myself. i've been reading books about it, but i feel like this just isn't enough. the only problem is, i don't have a Mac and i'd rather not buy one just in case the SDK isn't for me because then i would have bought the Mac for no reason.
there are a couple Apple retail stores near me, but i've never been into one before. does anyone know if they'll be able to help me out by allowing me 20-30 minutes to try out the SDK? i don't mind paying.
thanks guys, i'd appreciate any help.

Walk in to the store and ask. In general, Apple Store employees are told to display a helpful attitude towards (possible) clients.
If they don't have a Mac with the SDK already installed, you might want to come back later until the local Genius is done downloading and installing it.

Is there a way to try out a phone for a week or so?

I am getting a little annoyed with Android. I was wondering if there were a way to try out the windows phones with verizon for a week or so.
I currently have a nationwide family share plan (but not data sharing).

If you try WP and return it, simply pay the $35 and check right away that your contract eligibility dates are changed back to what they were, If you return the phone to a store, have the Verizon employee check it. If you return something you buy online, hang on to the tracking number and keep an eye out for it to change back (it can take a week or two in that case).
As 21stNow said, you would want to return, not exchange, unless you are absolutely sure of the second phone. If you return, you can still purchase and return in the future on the same line, however.
Last, as a long-time Android user and a more recent WP user, I will say the WP OS is pleasant to use and different than anything out there. If you have any specific questions, feel free to ask. There are lots of helpful, knowledgeable people on the Windows Phone boards here.

Encore 2.0 Try out here

ftp://ftp.adobe.com/pub/adobe/encore/win/2.x/Adobe_Encore_2_0_Tryout.zip

I just downloaded the try out. It seems to have fixed a problem that I have with version 1, which I'm currently running ---- an error message when I try to preview motion menus. I know from doing a forum search at the time, other people had the same problem (on version 1.5 as well). It seemed to be related to the driver for the Matrox g550 graphics card (and using the latest one didn't fix it) Maybe ver. 2 will fix it for other people, so worth downloading the try out to see.
The installation does seem to have messed up Adobe Bridge ---- I now get an error saying it can't launch the Camera Raw module ---- but the video previews are really great!
* Sorry if this should have gone in the Menus and buttons section --- hard to decide where was more relevant

Can I try out FF4 while continuing to use FF3?

I look at the forum and see all sorts of problems being talked about when people make the switch from FF3 to FF4, and I don't want the aggravation. So I'd like to try out FF4 and work my way into it while still being able to use FF3 which I know works well and doesn't give me any hassles.
I'm afraid that if I install FF4 then I'll no longer be able to use FF3 and I will have to fiddle with FF4 for days and days to get it to work properly, and during that switch-over period I won't be able to access the internet as easily as I can now with FF3, and will lose valuable time and get frustrated and wish I hadn't made the switch in the first place. I've had that problem in the past when upgrading an earlier version of FF and it was very frustrating indeed.
So to put the question again, can I install FF4, but be able to continue using FF3 while getting FF4 configured and fine-tuned with all the features, layout etc. that I want (a process which, in my experience, always takes more time than one would have thought)?

@ ocertain I lasted about a month with the FF4 & tonight I couldn't take it any longer I went back to FF 3.6.16.. Prior to making the change back I did take some of supports suggestions to make 4 look like 3 but they were just bandages on a cut to try & stop the bleeding in the end the cut was still there..
I found that FF4 was like having IE & if I wanted to use IE I would have.. I don't know who designed FF4 but if you're going to upgrade something you have to remember the operative word is 'upgrade' so making it worse was the wrong direction..
As a former systems analyst I found FF4 a disaster in response & in visual appearance, so I wonder how many end users were in the testing group for this product & how much negative testing they did before they released it ?
They can send me an alert when the soup is cooked & ready to eat until then I will stay with FF3..

Once you have the correct TabCandy build installed, you can't let it update because that version points to the wrong update package.

I want to try out the Standard edition of Acrobat XI. What do I do?

I want to try out the Standard edition of Acrobat before purchasing to see if it is right for my company, but the only available trial is for the Pro edition. I don't want to commit to purchasing the Standard edition before trying out that specific edition, since it will have less features than the Pro edition. I want to avoid a scenario where I pay for the Standard edition, find out it doesn't have the features I need, and then pay again for the Pro edition. Advice, anyone?

Also wondering if, when I downloaded the Standard edition, there would be the option to upgrade to Acrobat XI Pro while only having to pay the difference between the two prices, rather than paying the full price after having already purchased the Standard edition? Can anyone confirm whether this would be a possibility?

I want to try out Face Time. Anyone want to chat?

I want to check it out but don't have any friends who own an iPhone 4. Anyone else want to have a test conversation with me? Don't worry about having to look cool, I look like the reflection in a car door. We can chat about our iPhones, music, sports or even nothing at all. We could speak through interpretive dance or just stare at each other. On another note, I just want to say that although it's not been perfect by any stretch, this phone has been a vast improvement over my 3g. Fewer dropped call, better reception. I did have the death grip and the bumper seemed to subdue that issue. It runs circles around the 3g speedwise and I find apps to be more responsive. It does seem more fragile but a $300 phone isn't something you want to dropkick on to your desk at the end of the day. I do have occasional proximity issues but I believe all these things will be sorted out in time. Not deal breakers.

hey, ive yet to try out facetime. i just moved to gatlanta from koxville, and i dunno anyone with an iphone 4 to try it out. every time i call 1-888-facetime i never get thru. a recording tells me to go to an apple website to learn more. if anyone would be interested in a facetime chat email me [email protected] and btw im a 24 yr old male.

How to try out the samples come with jwsdp

hi,
I download jwsdp. and try to try out the sample under /registry. very little info under that folder.
Anybody have this experience?
thanks in advance

Yes, I know. In fact, you will be very luck if you get the samples to work right out of the box. You have to set a lot of environment variables to make it work properly. I would suggest that you download the HelloWorld demo from http://ninestep.com/ninestep/learn_ws.jsp, which compiles and runs without any problem. The way they did things is wrote the build script using relative path. All the jar files are included in the package. Jence Incorporated (NineSTEP), http://www.jence.com site has other information as well. The HelloWorld demo also have a demo applet and shows you how to connect to a web service using a applet by writing a signed jar. Jence also have an interesting product named NineSYNC, a web data sync product, http://www.ninesync.com, which might also be of interest to you.

How should I try out Oracle Grid and Oracle database?

I want to try out Oracle Grid and Oracle database in a virtualized test environment. I have already downloaded the Oracle VM VirtualBox for Windows platform. The OS for the production environment is RHEL. So, do I just need to download Oracle Linux? How about the VM Manager, VM Server, and Oracle programs?

You can use the standard distribution media from http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/indexes/downloads/index.html and https://edelivery.oracle.com/linux to install Oracle Linux and Oracle 11g in Virtualbox. Virtualbox can use real disk media as well as .iso disk image files. Oracle Linux 6 is not certified for any Oracle database product yet. Your best option will be to install Oracle Linux 5.7 and then install the Oracle-Validated software package to prepare Oracle Linux for the Oracle database installation.
Virtualbox and Oracle VM are different products. Oracle VM, including OVM server and manager installs its own operating system and is designed for installations on bare metal machines. Virtualbox is an application that requires a primary host OS, e.g. Windows, MacOSX, Linux, to install one or more virtual machines with Windows or Linux guest systems.

The only way out of Recovery mode is to connect to iTunes and restore. If you cannot access the computer you normally sync with, you will lose all of your content, unless you sync to iCloud. With no backup present, your content will be lost.
