Unable start KDE in a new ArchLinux Installation

Hi All,
This is my first install. I am trying ArchLinux on a virtualbox. I followed the newbie installation guide and installed KDE. When I try to start KDE using kdm or startx (.xinitrc) , I am getting the following error. Any help is appreciated.

This advice will actually be obsolete come this time tomorrow, as KDE 4.6 no longer uses hal. You could try it out for troubleshooting; just remember to remove hal after the 4.6 upgrade.
You may still need hal; some programs still depend on it.

New archlinux installation working on native but not on VMWare.

Hello.
So basically, I installed Arch on a USB HDD. I did two partitions : One NTFS of 400gb, and one of Ext4 of 100gb.
I installed Arch using the x86 live-cd, and everything worked well, I can perfectly boot on it.
But here's the problem : I want to use it using VMware. I created a "virtual" machine using a physical disc, and no matter what, it won't boot.
"Waiting 10 seconds for device /dev/disk/by-uuid/loluuid ...
Root device '/dev/disk/by-uuid/loluuid' doesn't exist. Attempting to create it.
ERROR: Unable to determine major/minor number of root device '/dev/disk/by-uuid/loluuid'."
I supposed it comes from some USB driver isn't loaded or something, but I can't figure out what to do.
Is there anything I can do so I can use it on VMWare ? I really need to use the bridged internet.
Thanks already,
cyb.

Hello.
I tried it with "kernel /boot/vmlinuz26 root=/dev/sda1". It isn't working any better.

Unable to get sound from new ATV installation using either HDMI or optical audio to Bose receiver. Good video using HDMI.

Need help setting up my Apple TV. I have good video, but no audio using either the HDMI cable by itself or by connecting a optical video cable through the aux receiver for home theater. I've replaced the Apple TV box, swapped out HDMI cables, reset the Apple TV box, all to no avail. Any suggestions? Thanks

Connected only using HDMI to Onkyo Receiver and HDMI out to Samsung 1080p TV. So far so good.

I can't Start, Uninstall or Install new iTunes. I'm getting the same error message: Window Installer Service could not be accessed. No other programs have similar problem. Any suggestion what can be done?

I can't Start, Uninstall of Install new iTunes. I'm getting the same error message: "Window Installer Service could not be accessed". No other programs having similar problem. Any suggestions how to fix it?

For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down the page in case one of them applies.
The further information area has direct links to the current and recent builds in case you have problems downloading, need to revert to an older version or want to try the iTunes for Windows (64-bit - for older video cards) (not for XP) release as a workaround for installation or performance issues, or compatibility with QuickTime or third party software.
Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there are also links to backup and recovery advice should it be needed.

Pressed 'Install Lion' on existing copy of lion and the new Lion Installation started. I have cancelled it. Now, will it reformat (and so remove) all the files or will it replace the lion files only, leaving my files alone if I continue?

Hi
I wanted to reinstall the existing copy of lion on my Macbook Pro, leaving my files alone. So I started the Lion Installation and I thought that after the mac reboots, the window will pop-out asking what I want to do. It didn't however and it started new lion installation after which I immediately aborted it. My question is: Will my files stay untouched if I carry on installing?
Thanks for the answers in advance.

The Lion installer won't ask you if you want to repair. If you boot into the Recovery HD you can then select to reinstall Lion, which willl reinstall the Lion files but leave your Home folder alone. If you want a clean install, then from the Recovery you can open Disk Utility to wipe the Lion partition and then use the transfer function to retrieve your data from your Time Machine backup.

New Server Installation, now client computers can't connect to services. Where to go from here?

Hello.
I recently had to setup a new Mac Mini Server (Mavericks). We had one previously but one of the raided hard drives failed. No backup.
Our office of 6 Apple MacBook Pros used to connect to all file sharing and calendar services, easily.
On the new Server installation, I added the same users with the same passwords etc. The client computers cannot access calendars, file sharing etc. On the clients, I have opened up System Preferences > Users & Groups > Login Options > Network Account Server and added the FQDN of the server, but I get an error ' Unable to add server. Connection failed to the directory server. (2100) '
2 of the clients are on Mountain Lion. The rest are on the latest Mavericks.
I'm a bit lost on where to go from here and would appreciate your help before I wipe everything and start from scratch.
Thanks.

Hi Strontium90
Ha! There was a time machine backup, but we had a storm here which rendered it and the server useless. We are such a small team without an 'IT' guy, apart form me as I have a vague interest in all things Apple.
What is your DNS name space?
Do you need the name here?
Do the servers and the client agree on this name?
Not sure what you mean. The domain name works as when I type it into a web browser, I can see the 'Welcome to Server' page.
Did you enable an Open Directory Master?
Yes. Open Directory is running.
Did you grant the users/group access to the service you are offering?
Yes. All services are checked for each user.
Make sure the user/group is permitted to access your enabled services.
All allowed, too.
Oh, and implement a backup strategy
Will do, once I sort out this problem. Time Machine and off-site, I think.

KDM with XGL used to start KDE issues

Hi,
I don't know if this problem was ever mentioned but if XGL/KDE is started from KDM using XGL http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Xgl … M_uses_XGL there is no possibility to run OpenGL apps even with DISPLAY=:0 added. All attempts end with
Using GLX_SGIX_pbuffer
Xlib: extension "XFree86-DRI" missing on display ":0.0".
Error: couldn't get fbconfig
while if I follow second method, New KDM entry starts KDE with XGL, I'm able to run all apps.
Since I don't like issues which come with second option and I would like to run software like Google Earth I'm looking for answer if someone have solution how to fix this problem.
Thanks.

New pole installation and costs?

Dear all,
Can anyone advise me as to how much BT charge to install a pole to carry a land line? Further, what is the preferred distance between poles?
We are selling our current house and renovating the stable block, that we also own, next door. The trouble is that there is no physical line there at the moment - we will have to have one installed.
How much do/should BT charge to install a new pole? The one that feeds the current house is about 40m (as the crow flies) from the entrance to the new property, the easiest point to give access to the new building. (The line will have to cross our current/soon-to-be-former property so the new owners will have to get used to that I think). Is this distance too far to keep the tension in the wire? Would I need a second pole installed - not impossible but would impinge upon access to the property slightly. Would it be cheaper to have a new line 'moled' underground, done at the same time as the drainage is installed?
Also, we want to keep the same telephone number (have had it for 23 years) but even that is causing minor problems!
I spoke to the (very helpful) lady at the "house move" section of the helpdesk who said that:
(a) if we want to keep the old number we MUST have a physical line to re-assign the number to, otherwise the new owners will not be able to have a new number assigned to them
(b) as this is not the case, we could have the BT messaging service take our calls but this will only last for three months and is not extendable - I doubt whether we can be in a position to start work on the new property by then, never mind be in a position to have a BT land line connected.
(c) I wanted to be able to re-direct the land line calls to our number redirected to a mobile (possible via one of the items on offer in the list of packages available for land lines). However, this is not possible due to (a) aboveas you must have a physical line for this to happen (apparently)
(d) If we do not have a physical line OR have our messaging service expire after the three month period, our number is given back to BT Wholesale who will re-assign it as 'available' for anyone else to have. I have been told that there is no way of 'reserving' our number so that it is kept for us.
Why can't I simply keep my number 'at the exchange' (non-technical) and the system simply redirects the telephone call to a mobile whilst not physically having a line, and I simply tell them that I want my line established and reconnected when I am ready?
Got distracted there but I thought that I would get all the details off my chest.
I have had absolutely exceptional service from BT in the past ( one of the reasons why I wouldn't consider switching my line rental etc. to another supplier, even though it may be cheaper) but there are one or two minor irritations that could be sorted out here as I am sure that this situation must have occurred somewhere before.
Any comments most welcome

Hi Gsd4me,
Thanks for the post and welcome to the forum.
It is impossible for me or any one else in BT to tell you how much it will cost to get a new line installed at a newly built property, without having the site surveyed by Openreach. The process here is, you would place an order to have the line installed at the address of the new property. Once the order is placed we would then be able to book an engineers appointment.
The engineer will come out to the site on the agreed date and then carry out a survey to ascertain what work needs to be carried out. Openreach will decide on the best and most efficient way to get service to your new property, if they are able to use the existing pole then that is what they will do, however you will not know until the survey has been carried out.
Once Openreach have surveyed the site then they will let you know the cost of the job. You can then decide if you want to go ahead with this installation.
I understand that you are trying to keep your telephone number. The advise you have been given is sound. You can only keep your number if you have a line to transfer it to. BT Retail do not own the telephone numbers, we get numbers assigned to use from the pool of available numbers by Wholesale.
Once you cancel your service your telephone number will be added back to the general pool of available numbers, this then becomes available to any of the service providers that use the Wholesale network. Unfortunately there is no way around this, we have no way of keeping a telephone number without it being active on a telephone line. We simply do not own the number.
I hope this information has helped. Any more question please drop me a reply.
Cheers
Sean

How do I perform a "Suite Product Activation" so that Acrobat will start working on my new Retina MacBook Pro?

How do I perform a "Suite Product Activation" so that Acrobat will start working on my new Retina MacBook Pro?
Like others, I have recently upgraded my MacBook Pro to the next generation and migrated all my information from old to new. Everything works seamlessly EXCEPT Acrobat. Photoshop, Indesign, Bridge and Lightroom all seem functional. Acrobat hangs with an error message "Suite Product Activation Needed. Acrobat was installed as part of a suite. To enable Acrobat, please start another element of the suite (such as Photoshop)." Needless to say, starting another element of the suite has NO impact on Acrobat.
This has to be a common problem. Now that Apple has made it really easy to migrate information from old to new machines, it has to come up all the time. What surprises me greatly is that I can't find any coherent answer in these forums.
So how do I get Acrobat running again?

Hi Anubha,
I do not understand what you said below.
I am running Adobe Acrobat Pro Version 9.5.5. I do not remember whether it came with Photoshop or InDesign.
When I open Photoshop, it opens without my having to follow any instructions to activate the software. As a matter of fact, I cannot find my Photoshop serial number anywhere in the Photoshop program itself. I do know it from my profile at Adobe.com. Are you suggesting I deactivate Photoshop on the new computer and then reactivate it using my serial number? Will it reactivate?
When you say
"/Library/Application Support/Adobe" at the root level of the startup disk (not the Library folder inside a user's Home folder)
what do you mean? I do not have a startup disk. I have the original installation disk but that version of Photoshop has been updated a few times.
After staring at your instructions for a while, I realized that you might be talking about the Library/Application Support folders resident on my Macintosh HD, although why you called it a startup disk is unclear to me. IAC, I went into those folders and duly moved the three folders into a new folder I called “Acrob1” and restarted Adobe Acrobat 9 and got the following error message: “AMT Subsystem Failure The licensing subsystem has failed catastrophically. You must reinstall of call customer support.” with a small (6).
By undoing my actions I am back to the staus quo ante.
Now what?
Regards, Robert

Unable to install itunes for new computer with windows 8

unable to install itunes for new computer with windows 8
states this app unable to run on this PC

Hello jgrn76,
It sounds like you are getting an error stating that the iTunes installer cannot be run on your computer. I would try downloading the 64 bit version of iTunes from here:
iTunes 11.1.3 for Windows (64-bit)
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1615
If issues persist when trying to install it, I would try running through the steps in the article named:
Issues installing iTunes or QuickTime for Windows
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1926
Otherwise, would you mind elaborating a bit on what the error message says, word for word?
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.

Unable to use ctx_doc despite Oracle Text installation

Hi,
We're using Oracle 9iR2.
I'm in need to convert a Long Raw column to readable text. I've managed to convert it to CLOB and it now gives me an RTF encoded string.
I've read on several forums that this RTF string can be converted to readable text using the CTX_DOC.FILTER or CTX_DOC.IFILTER functions. But despite Oracle Text 9.2.0.1.0 being successfully installed (by OUI), there ain't any CTX_DOC packages. I'm getting the error:
"PLS-00201: identifier 'CTX_DOC.IFILTER' must be declared".
Even running as database administrator, I'm not able to run this function.
Can anyone help us in making this work? I've posted in the wrong forum before (PL/SQL) but their tips didn't work: unable to use ctx_doc despite Oracle Text installation
Thanks in advance!

Can you try some things just to confirm if you have a proper installation and configuration? Do you have a ctxsys user? Can you connect as ctxsys then describe ctx_doc? Please see the following section for configuration instructions:
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B10501_01/win.920/a95491/config.htm#1007332
You might also want to upgrade to a newer version.
