Unable to initialize GTK+, is DISPLAY set properly.

I'm attempting to set up the minimum for launching graphical programs from the command line, but whenever I attempt to launch one, I get this.
I'm not quite sure what Xserver has to do with GTK, but I also get an error launching that. http://pastebin.com/ZWgrZnWc

I tried using apple community help already discussed on forum and I got my problem solved.
I installed XQuartz and restarted my system.
then
$ssh -Y [email protected]
it is connected and when i run my particular folder files
$make
it runs
$./window
it give me window using XQuartz. well done arshad

You should NEVER login graphically as root. What software do you want to use? Is it REALLY necessary to give it root access=
If you want to run it as root, you should do the following in a terminal:
$ xhost + enable X access from terminals
$ su login as root
# /path/to/programname
Or better yet if you use sudo.
Better yet if you start the program with
gksu <programname>
This way you'll be asked for password and won't need a terminal.
By the way, if the program requires gtk to be in your sistem, maybe you should check that they're installed, giving
pacman -S gtk2

Unable to initialize capture device and device control in HDV

I shot with a Sony HVR-Z1U/Z1N and am using a Sony HDV 1080i tape deck to digitize.
I recently purchased a MacBook Pro and installed FCP Pro 5 on it. After getting over some time code issues we were chugging along, when on the 4th tape the image on the log and capture screen suddenly dissapeared (I could get audio and could see the image on the tape deck). Well after taking the tape out, checking and rechecking it I popped it back in and ever since then, I have been getting this error mssg "Unable to initialize capture device and device control."
I have tried deleting the preferences and starting from scratch. If I do that, and choose the easy setup with HDV- 1080i60, it gives me this error "Unable to locate the following external devices- HDV (1440 X 1080) 30fps.
I upgraded to FCP 5.1.2 this morning and upgraded the OS to 10.4.7 and QT to 7.1.3 and still no change.
Im at my wits end, Ive been working on this for a whole week now.
Thank you,
Bugs

It has been reported to take more than one attempt to correct the installation but, if properly executed on a machine without other system problems, the QT reinstall process does work. The key element here is you must reinstall QT after you trash the receipts. The process is listed below.
x
To do a full quicktime reinstall.
Go to /library/receipts and delete any files that say Quicktime followed by a number e.g. Quicktime703.pkg
Go to the Apple quicktime site and download the appropriate version of Quicktime to your hard drive.
Run the Quicktime installer.
Repair Disk Permissions for your System Disk (Disk Utility > Select the system disk > Repair Disk Permissions)
Reboot
If this doesn't work, then the problem lies elsewhere:
1. your system - user preferences, firewire ports or other system elements.
2. your equipment - camera/deck/firewire cables.
3. your process - not setting up the software properly or using the software erroneously.
Listed below is a troubleshooting process. Not all steps are appropriate but the general process of isolating the problem is useful.

Unable to initialize the Microsoft Exchange Information Store service because the clocks on the client and on the server machine are skewed

Each time I restart this exchange server, the Information Store and System Attendant don't start. If It try to manually start the services, I get the follow errors:
Event ID 5003:
Unable to initialize the Microsoft Exchange Information Store service because the clocks on the client and on the server machine are skewed. This may be caused by a time change either in the client or the server machine, and may require a reboot of that machine. Other than that, verify that your domain is properly configured and is currently online.
Event ID 1005:
Unexpected error The clocks on the client and server machines are skewed. ID no: 80090324 Microsoft Exchange System Attendant occurred.
The clocks on the domain controllers and the exchange server are set to the same time zones. As well, all three clocks are in sync down to the second. Any ideas on what's causing this and how to fix it?

Run this Command from the Exchange Server
Net time \\ADServerName /Set
and confirm the action,
and then you need to restart the service
Microsoft Exchange Active Directory Topology Service
and confirm you are not getting the Error 4001 in the event Viewer.
Thank you, it resolved my issue after being sweating looking for solution.
How can I prevent this from happening? I cannot restart services on each server reboot nor lose 5 years of my life!!!

Trying to run SQLPlus: Unable to initialize Oracle call interface (again)

Dear all
I am trying to install Oracle Instant Client on my powerpc-32bit running Linux. I just obtained these packages:
instantclient-basic-linuxppc32-10.2.0.2-20060327.zip
instantclient-sqlplus-linuxppc32-10.2.0.2-20060327.zip
According to the document <http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/server.102/b14357/ape.htm> these two are enough for me to use.
I also followed the instruction on the document, by:
1. Extract everything to /usr/local/instantclient_10_2/
/usr/local:$ unzip instantclient-basic-linuxppc32-10.2.0.2-20060327.zip
/usr/local:$ unzip instantclient-sqlplus-linuxppc32-10.2.0.2-20060327.zip
2. export variables:
$ export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/instantclient_10_2/
$ export SQLPATH=/usr/local/instantclient_10_2/
$ export NLS_LANG=AMERICAN_AMERICA.UTF8
$ export PATH=/usr/local/instantclient_10_2:$PATH
($LD_LIBRARY_PATH and $SQLPATH was empty before I do the above.)
(I didn't set $ORACLE_HOME because the document didn't require me to do so when I install sqlplus/oracle-client-basic from zip files. However I do tried to set it, doesn't help either.)
3. run:
$ sqlplus jxpado/[email protected]/XEXDB
SP2-1503: Unable to initialize Oracle call interface
SP2-0152: ORACLE may not be functioning properly
I looked up causes of SP2-1503:
Check that the Oracle environment or registry entries are consistent and correct.Yes. Environment is correct (only 3 variables);
If using the SQL*Plus Instant Client make sure the SQL*Plus
and Oracle libraries are from the same release. Yes, as you can tell from package zip file names.
Make sure you have read access to the libraries.True. I am very sure I have read access to all files there.
So what can I do here? I tried to follow instructions as clear / complete as possible.
I am sure sqlplus didn't even try to connect to the server at gtz.ods.org because I put a network traffic listener there to monitor access to the server.

Unfortunately there's a bunch of possible reasons for this error combination. I recommend you search metalink for SP2-1503 to get a list.

Unable to open X windows display

hi
I'm trying to transfer some very old PV-wave (visual numerics) routines into solaris 10 and I keep getting the following errors
WTINIT: Unable to open X windows display.
WwError: Unable to create top level shell.
Now I know I haven't given much info here but I have a feeling that its simply that I haven't set some paths properly. Where does one normally call the X windows display from.
Much thanks

Hi
Are you logged in to the machine remotely or locally?
If locally, then you shouldn't need to change anything.
There are two things that normally control the X display: the DISPLAY environment variable and the X authority. DISPLAY is usually set to [hostname]:0.0 (unless you have more than one display or are using an X server that emulates mutliple displays).
For X authority, you can either use xhost, which is simple but poses security issues, or xauth, less simple but more secure. If you are safely behind a firewall, and you trust your colleagues, then "xhost + [hostname]" is the quickest solution.

5.1.4 update breaks HDV capture? Unable to Initialize Capture Device

Problem:
Final Cut Pro cannot capture standard 1080i60 HDV footage from Sony FX1 camcorder. FCP reports "Unable to Initialize Capture Device" when the log and capture window is opened. However, the footage CAN be captured in iMovie (which is interesting, and unacceptable). When HDV>DV downconvert option on camcorder is activated, footage CAN be captured as anamorphic SD, so the camcorder and FW do work.
The problem is occuring on a rock-solid FCP system that I use on a regular basis (mainly for SD editing). It has been approx 2 weeks since I last attempted a HDV capture, the system has been working great with SD footage (still does).
Factors that have changed to my knowledge since HDV capture was last functioning properly:
*Added a new external FW drive into regular usage (a different brand than normally used, no issues with it so far).
*Updated FCP to 5.1.3, and then 5.1.4 when that fix came out. All SD captures and work have been fine so far.
Here's what's interesting...I had a copy of the FCP v5.0.4 .app that I had saved an archive of prior to the crossgrade update. Guess what? I can load it up, and it captures HDV without any problems! With that in mind, this looks like an FCP 5.1.4 issue. But I am at a loss on how to proceed further in troubleshooting. Many thanks in advance for any assistance.
Matt Jeppsen
FresHDV.com
---NOTES---
What I have tried:
*Attempted capture with a different Sony FX1 camcorder.
*Swapped firewire cables and system firewire ports.
*Attempted capture with camera FW chained to an external HDD.
*Unplugged all other external firewire devices from the system.
*Trashed FCP prefs using FCP Rescue 5, created new project using Easy Setup (for HDV).
*Tried different variations of FCP A/V settings, tried all the HDV FW device control presets and the HDV AIC capture preset.
*Per instructions at http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=301852 I removed the numbered Quicktime pckg Receipts and re-installed the latest version (7.13). Post-install/reboot, I repaired Disk Prefs and Verified the disk using Disk Util.
*Have also attempted installing QT 7.13 2 and 3 times in a row, also trying disk prefs repair BEFORE the post-install reboot.
Final Cut Pro Audio/Video Settings:
Sequence Preset: HDV-1080i60
Capture Preset: HDV
Device Control Preset: Sony HDV Firewire
Sony HDR-FX1 IN/OUT REC settings:
*VCR HDV/DV: HDV
*COMPONENT: 1080i/480i
*i.LINK CONV: OFF
*TV TYPE: 16:9
*A/V->DV OUT: OFF
System/Software Facts:
*Final Cut Pro 5.1.4
*Quicktime 7.13
*PPC Mac G5 2.7 Dual (2.5GB RAM)
*35GB free on System, 45GB free on internal FCP Scratch disk
Final Cut Pro 5.1.4, G5 DP 2.7 (PPC) Mac OS X (10.4.8)

I think I figured out this vexing problem. I too was having the same issue. Check to see that your Quicktime is newer than 7.1.2. If it isn't you'll have to upgrade it. I only upgraded to 7.1.6 here because I was afraid of going to a really new version. http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/quicktime716formac.html. After I upgraded my quicktime, I ran software update and the Final Cut Pro 5.1.4 update appeared. I hoipe this helps.

Unable to initialize hdv deck problem

Hi all,
I'm having the 'unable to initialize hdv deck' problem. I am trying to capture HD footage from a Sony HVR-A1E camera. iLink and down conversion are off (like they should be) and I have just captured a HD tape before the problem started.
I don't understand how I could capture HD footage just fine and then without touching any settings (just trying to start capture again) I suddenly get the error message, "Unable to initialize HDV deck. Please make sure a deck is connected and try again."
Any ideas?

Definitely. Shot on HDV, definite difference between the clips I've captured so far (HD capture that worked fine before this is high quality sharp image, where as when capturing in SD, image quality is poor and smaller).
Everything has been filmed on the same camera with no setting changes between shots. Like I said before, I have already been able to capture today in HD just fine, but for some unknown reason (which I don't think is the prefs.) capture will not work. I can 'trick' FCE into HD capture but it gets stuck on cueing tape (even though video is playing fine on camera).

Unable to Initialize Capture Device

Hi,
I am having a problem importing/capturing HDV video from my JVC HD GR 1 getting "Unable to Initialize Capture Device".
I have been able to capture fine up to this point, finicky some times to be sure, but workable, then in the last few weeks it began getting more and more finicky (wouldn't connect to camera, restart and it works fine), until just the other day it wont connect no matter what I do!
Help?
Ask questions if you need clarification.
Camera: JVC HD GR 1
Tape: Mini DV
Format: HDV
Software: FCP 5.1.4

Unfortunately when both "Capture" and "Device Control" presets are not set to HDV it wont even try to connect and gives me this warning:
"To capture HDV source material, both the Capture and Device Control presets must be configured for HDV; otherwise, to capture in another format, both must not be configured for HDV."
As a side note when my camera was connecting to FCP. FCP would only give me on screen controls half the time.

"Unable to initialize video deck" inquiry

I am new to Mac and FCE, so I ask for some slack...
I am trying to get video from my Panasonic AG DVX 100 into FCE.
About my system: IMac 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo with OS X 10.5.2. I have FCE 4 on this computer, not an upgrade of earlier program, but version 4, straight out of the box. I know FCE is working, because I have edited a hour long project on it.
Here's my issue: With the first project complete, I want to import some new video into FCE and start another project. I connect the camera to the Mac via firewire (the white cable that I bought at the Mac store). When I go to "File" in FCE, I go to capture, and I get the following message:
*"Unable to initialize video deck. You may still use capture now."*
I continue by selecting "capture now." The capture window appears with "preview disabled" on the color bars, "no communication" at the bottom of the window. I hit "capture now" in the bottom right and I get the following message:
*"Attempt to capture video without a video device selected. Please select a video device in your capture presets and try again."*
I can't seem to track down "capture presets" , so that's my first issue. This was not a problem the first time I captured video. While at the Mac store, we plugged the camera into other Macs, but still would not get a signal. On FC, it would recognize the camera for a second or two, then flash the "no communication" error. The Mac folks believed it was a camera video out issue.
Some additional factors:
1. it's not the video output on this particular camera. Since that Mac store visit, I hooked it up to another computer and I could see video. So I'm confident that the camera will send video through this firewire.
2. Back to my original project, I imported video into FCE using this cable and a different mini dv camera (sony). It worked with the Sony camera, but will not work with this Panasonic.
I asked another friend, a MAC/FC/Panasonic DVX 100 guy, and he has never encountered this particular error message. He believes it's some setting within the computer that can be fixed through a software patch.
I would be most grateful for insight into solving what is likely a problem others have experienced. Please keep in mind that I am new to this whole process, and will likely show this thread to the people at the Mac store during my next one-on-one class.
Thank you very much.

David:
Thanks for your suggestion. I did check the firewire to ensure it's securely in place, and it seems like it is.
I did connect this camera and this firewire into a friend's macbook, and the signal was successfully received.
So I don't think it's a "loose wire" possibility. We also checked another camera into my Mac's firewire port, and it was successful.
So for some unknown reason, this particular Mac will not recognize this particular camera.
Again, your insights are greatly appreciated.

Unable to initialize video deck

I'm using Final Cut Pro 7.0.2 and I get this message when trying to Capture Footage from my camera: "Unable to initialize video deck". My settings are on Firewire NTSC which is what I always use. I used it a week ago and it worked then and many times before, now all of a sudden, it doesn't work. Anyone know what the problem is? Is the firewire fried or is there something else that could be wrong?

I am having a similar problem. I have the Canon Z65 DV camcorder and have a firewire 800 cable that connects correctly to the camera and my newer Macbook Pro but i dont see anything under the Apple Info under firewire. It just lists the maximum speed for the firewire bus. I put the camera on VCR/Play mode and even tried setting the cameras VCR setting VCR-->DV to On but still i dont see any changes for whats connected to the firewire bus or the ability to see the camera in imovie.
Any advice?

Unable to initialize video deck, (can not capture from camera)

Hello All,
I am using a quad core G5 and am trying to capture some footage into Final Cut Pro version 5.0. I have two Panasonic DVX 100B mini DV cameras. I normally capture with a JVC BR-DV3000 mini DV deck but it is currently not working. So I'm trying to capture using my camera.
I hooked my camera up to my computer via firewire and started final cut, When I click File > Log and capture a little window pops up that reads:
" Unable to initialize video deck. You may still log offline clips or use Capture Now"
I'm not sure why this box is appearing. When I click the capture now button, the Capture window pops up and then I press play on the video camera and the footage plays on the camera but the capture window remains black or empty. I have tried both cameras and two different firewire cables with the same results. I have also tried to restart the computer.
Can anyone shine some light on this situation?
Thank you so much for your help.
Mike Wardynski

Are there any other firewire devices connected to your Mac?
Did you go into your easy setup and reselect the DV setting for the standard you are using?
Also sometimes, shutting down and restarting your Mac, after making these changes some times allows the new device to be recognized.
One other thing, the DV camera may have a menu setting that needs to be set for communication via firewire possibly?

Oracle ODBC - Internal Error - unable to initialize NLS during driver load

I'm having some trouble with my ODBC connections which I hope someone can please help me with!
About 6 weeks ago all was working as normal.
As far as I know there have been no updates to the ORacle DB, the Windows XP operating system or the ODBC Drivers.
Today when I opened access and visual case 2 to connect to Oracle I was at first greeted with a:
unable to connect SQLState=IM004 SQL_HANDLE_ENV
error. ODBC also kept crashing.
I restarted the computer and was confronted with a different error:
odbc SQLSTate 08004 ORA 12154 TNS could not resolve the connect identifier specified
I was able to fix this error by setting the environment variable TNS_ADMIN in windows xp environment variables. I'm extremely confused about how this happened though as it was working and I don't think anything has changed.
I was then able to connect to the database via Microsoft Access but when I opened Visual Case 2 and tried to make an update, I was confronted with the following error:
Oracle ODBC Driver - internal error - unable to initialize NLS during driver load
I looked in the registry at:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Oracle\KEY_OraClient10g_home1
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Oracle\KEY_OraClient10g_home2
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Oracle\KEY_OraDb10g_home1
and NLS_LANG was set to "AMERICAN_AMERICA.WE8MSWIN1252" in all 3 places.
(Though KEY_OraClient10g_home2 only had 4 entries as opposed to KEY_OraClient10g_home1's 13 entries)...
Since I made those changes I can no longer connect through Access.
I just receive a ODBC - connection to 'xxx' failed
Advice greatly appreciated!!!!
Edited by: user11150264 on Aug 25, 2009 10:21 PM

Actually it sort of does...
I switched the ODBC connection to use instant client and now it's all working again.
The biggest mystery is what changed to make it suddenly stop working the old way...
