Upgrade XF86 causes loss of X and Kde(solved)

Upgrade this day caused loss of X and KDE.
Reference made to shared libx11 not opened.
Side issue: Knoppix cannot access internet in version 3.4 or version 3.7 on the affected machine.
Virus?

Upgrade results in loss of preferences and Update Centre paths

I have just upgraded to EA7. Having started to use SqlDev in earnest I had changed some preference settings. So I checked the ReadMe and was disappointed to find that it's still not possible to export preferences, What the document didn't say, but ought to, is that any links we've put in the Update Centre will also get lost. This is annoying. I hadn't bookmarked the extension sites because I thought the Update Centre was tracking them
I must admit to being a bit bemused as to why we can export connections but not other kinds of configuration data. Doesn't this annoy you guys too?
Cheers, APC

It is very annoying, but it also is not a production product yet. Since development is still occurring on it, I would assume that the structure of the configuration files are still changing.
The big question is once SQL Developer is production, will they retain preference settings during upgrades? One issue I have is I cannot get the "check for upgrade" to work through my firewall. So will the upgrade guidelines document what configuration files to retain to keep your preferences when doing a fresh install?
Please do not rely on everyone using the upgrade center for upgrades.

Move Between PO's Caused Loss of Mail and Frequent Contacts

I recently moved a user between post offices because he was moving to a different building. The move process went smoothly, but afterwards he had none of his email or frequent contacts prior to that point. Is there anything I can do about this?

I would start by checking the the post office reported and User Move Status for the user in question in ConsoleOne while connected to the primary, source and target domains.

Got a new computer will syncing cause loss of info and past texts.

hey guys, just wondering if i sync my iphone with my new laptop will i lose all of my contacts and past texts ?

You should be able to:
Disable automatic syncing of devices (Edit > Preferences > Devices)
Backup the device to the new installation (Right-click device > Back Up)
Transfer your purchases into your authorized library
Recover any other media using third party tools as suggested in this post from forum regular Zevoneer
Restore the device from the backup
This process should switch the association of the device to the new library, preserving the data and settings in the apps.
May also be prudent to attempt a backup to iCloud directly from the device before you start... Settings > iCloud > Storage & Backup > iCloud Backup > On. It won't save any media but it would preserve the general account settings and documents in case anything goes wrong while you are trying to extract your other data.
When you get it all fixed, make a backup!

64bit and kde Solved thanks to evr

I installed the 64bit system and then KDE but when I start KDE the screen freezes and I have to reboot, any ideas
Last edited by normc (2009-04-06 19:23:01)

is xorg working properly, what graphics driver are you using? also, is the hal daemon running?

Sound stuck. Alsa, atiixp and KDE [solved]

SEE http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/4325 FOR SOLUTION
Here`s my story:
I was watching some DVDs, relaxing and all, however when I inserted one DVD and tried to mount it, system froze.
After reboot I tried doing the same thing. Unfortunately, few moments after mount /mnt/cd system froze again.
,,Well what the heck, must be corrupt DVD" - I thought and decided to spend evening listening to the music.
But oh no, amaroK was acting strange.
Music seemed to be stuck on few first accords, it was playing them again, and again, and again.... Well you get the picture.
Since I am using amaroK 1.4 beta2 (it`s great!) I thought it may be a bug.
However my attempts to get some music flowin` with XMMS were unsuccessful too.
After a cruise to kcontrol > sound system > test sound I made sure that it wasn`t amaroK or XMMS that were buggy.
Tried changing to OSS, got some sound, however it was reaaaaally choppy and this time it stuck somewhere in the middle of the track (test sound ,,track`` that is).
Logs (/var/log/everything.log) look strange too, they were full of this:

I upgraded to Mac OS 10.9, and then had to upgrade Xcode 4 to Xcode 5.0.2. Xcode 5.0.2 causes my processor to run at over 100%, and makes my computer inoperable.

Thank you for your advice, but I solved the problem. I had to place the Developer folder in the Trash. The Developer folder had the old XCode 3 inside of it.

Upgrade has caused problems with hotspot, tethering, and "help"

I received notice that my Z10 os had an upgrade available, so I went ahead and upgraded to 10.1.0.2019. Now that I'm on a new version my wireless hotspot as well as tethering features no longer work. They worked the day before. I have an unlimited data plan with data roaming. Others in my org with the exact same phone and plan but earlier version os do not have this problem. The error message for both features (hotspot and tethering) is that I need to subscribe to a plan that allows these features. My plan is already unlimited data with roaming. After investigation with the provider, they reported that my features had not been "enabled correctly". They made some changes and these two features started working again. This is all very suspicious and dubious since the features were working prior to the upgrade.
The second issue is that now I constantly have "help" menu pop ups telling me how to use gestures to navigate on my phone. I don't want these but don't see where to turn them off. I guess this is the default behavior of the new OS. Apparently it introduced or modified some of the gestures. Until I actually went in and executed each gesture, it continued to display the help menu.
I'd just as soon revert back to the old OS if I have to live with all this new unhelpful stuff. I don't see a handy way to downgrade to a previous release either. right now my phone is far less productive a tool than it should be or was prior to the upgrade.
While all has been fixed now, it still points to some unfortunate issues with new OS.

As long as you are using the current version of firefox Firefox 7 sync is part of the browser. If you use the old version Firefox 3.6 sync was an add-on. If you have the add-on it may be removed see [[uninstalling add-ons]]
* also see [[how do i manage my firefox sync account?#w_adding-renaming-and-deactivating-devices]]_adding-renaming-and-deactivating-devices
Activating sync should not be affecting the look of websites or webmail pages, possibly it is a separate problem.

Have you made other changes such as turning off javascript ?

Exported Final Cut XML from Imovie09 causes loss of Audio Sync

I have recently upgraded to ILife09 and tried a process that always worked in ILife08 but now get Audio Sync problems.
I have created an Imovie project that is 2hours and 50 mins long and wanted to export it to Final Cut Express as XML. This used to work 100% with Imovie08. However, with this latest version of Imovie, when exported to Final Cut Express, the first 45 mins of the XML movie is well out of sync (Audio / Visual).
Has anyone experienced this?

Hi Roberic,
there is a bug in iMovie '09 that causes loss of audio sync when you use custom slow/fast motion. This has been experienced by many users. See for example this thread:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=9152271
I don't know if this applies to exports to .xml but it could well be that your problem lies here. There are some workarounds, being the easiest one to only use what the slow motion slider snaps to instead of entering custom speed percentages.

The F5 Networks Host Plugin no longer works since I upgraded to Firefox 4.0.1 and this is a major problem. what needs to be done to correct this?

When attempting to login to a GlasPac (auto glass) website, it requires an F5 Plugin to be installed. This has been working in the past using Firefox 3.x.x and now since I upgraded to Firefox 4.0.1 it says the plugin in not compatibable with Firefox 4 and will not load it so I am dead in the water !!!!!!! The FF 4.0 upgrade has caused this serious situation ... what needs to be done to rectify it ???
Thanx in advance ... Denny

Wine and KDE shortcuts

Using the Window-Specific workarounds I'm able to disable KDE global shortcuts. For example, in Diablo 2, ALT-F2 does not bring up the run dialog. GREAT!
My problem is that there are occasions that I want my full-screen wine application to loose focus or minimize; for example to make a Skype call. When someone calls me the Skype dialog and KDE taskbar pop to the front allowing me to minimize my wine application. However, I have no way of making a call without exiting the application.
I'm kind of at a loss here. I don't want to disable the KDE global shortcuts but I'd like some way of minimizing the full-screen wine application. Does anyone have a creative suggestion?

XFCE and KDE question

Would there be any conflicts if XFCE and KDE were both installed at the same time or would it be wiser to remove KDE before installing XFCE?

You'll probably be fine. Both programs can edit desktop files which can effect the other. I'm not sure how KDE handles mime types though. If it uses the same database, that could cause one to effect the other.

I cannot access my multi-function DAQ hardware from VB/Meas Studio after upgrading to latest Meas Studio Version and NI-DAQmx

I have a farily complex project that was initially written in VB6.0 with Meas Studio 3.0 and using traditional NiDAQ. For seveal reasons, I wanted to upgrade to the latest NI software. So, I purchased the latest version of Meas. Studio. I installed this, along with NI-DAQmx. Now, I cannot access any of the hardware from the VB IDE / Meas. Studio DAQ objects. Nor can I get the installed examples to run. The test panels run ok from MAX.
The whole process of trying to do this upgrade process has been extremely confusing and frustrating. I have a support request in, but have yet to hear from anyone. Trying to get useful information on this problem from the NI web site has also been difficult since almost all of the support doucments of any detail reference Labview.
Any help will be appreciated.

I'd like to better explain the decision not to provide ActiveX controls for DAQmx. My intention is not to de-legitimize your concern or downplay the pain/inconvenience this caused you.
The decision not to provide ActiveX controls would be more accurately summarized as a cost/benefit decision.
DAQmx is an entirely different API. The choice not to support mx with ActiveX controls was not a matter of dropping support from an implementation perspective (I understand that from a product-offering perspective, it is dropping support). Rather, the choice not to support mx with ActiveX controls was a matter of not designing and implementing an entire new set of controls.
Given our resources, we have to make choices about what languages (C#, VB.NET, C++, VB6), frameworks and versions (.NET 1.1, .NET 2.0, ASP.NET, MFC 7.1, MFC 8.0, VB6), and development environments (VB6, VC6, VS2003, VS2005) that we support. When NI decided that mx was necessary (that is, we could not move forward with new hardware under the old Traditional DAQ API), the Measurement Studio team had to decide which of these languages/platforms/ADEs to support.
We view the ActiveX controls as native support for Visual Basic 6.0. In March of 2008, Microsoft is going to stop supporting Visual Basic 6.0 (http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/vbrun/ms788707.aspx). It was largely because of this that we did not feel that our customers, as a whole, would gain enough benefit from us developing ActiveX controls to justify the cost. Instead, we developed native .NET and C++/MFC libraries for DAQmx.
We developed the type library for mx because we did understand that some customers would want or need to use mx boards in existing VB6 systems. While this is not an ideal solution, we hoped that it would be good enough. I am sorry that it doesn't meet your needs.
Looking back, we see that our customer base has not moved away from VB6 and to VB.NET or C# as quickly as we thought they would. This is why the Measurement Studio product continues to include VB6 support (the UI and Analysis ActiveX controls that you mention) and why we continue to fix bugs in these components. However, we are not putting much effort into developing new features in these ActiveX controls. Almost all of our new feature development efforts are in the .NET libraries.

Upgrade to FCP 5.1.4 and OSX 10.4.9 stops DV

Hi all,
Have upgraded to from OSX 10.3.9 to OSX 10.4 to allow me to upgrade FCP from 4.5 to 5.1 in order to add HDV support.
First use after upgrading and FCP is no longer recognising DV camera through Firewire. Subsequently upgraded to OSX 10.4.9 and FCP 5.1.4 but still have the same problem.
Can control the camera from log and capture, but preview disabled and capturing insists that no device is selected. Capture presets state that Video Device DV Video is missing
Does anyone have any idea what might be causing the problem?
TIA

Cannot sign in to Skype on Desktop after upgrade - cannot fill in user id and password boxes

My Skype forced me to upgrade right before a phone call today (7/12/2015) (why can't you let me go about my business first and upgrade later?). After the upgrade, Skype failed to aunch, and I received the blank screen at login. I terminated the processes, rebooted, and restarted Skype. I get the login screen, and my user ID is in the pre-filled area, but I cannot change that or type in the user ID box,, and I cannot type in the password box. I also did a system restore to a few days ago, and the same thing is ahppening. I am running the latest Skype (the help dialog works from the login screeen and confrms this)and Windows 7. What should I do?

http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/ie/forum/ie11-windows_7/cant-type-into-website-boxes-in-ie11windows-7/04b37fa0-d047-4577-9855-41e1930e8d60 As you can see, there might be several causes of this misbehaviour, and you should look of any antivirus/protection software installed on your computer. Meanwhile you can try to make use of the “legacylogin” workaround, which should enable login to Skype using the old legacy login window. However, you will not be able to login using Microsoft account (email address). Quit Skype. Make sure that you don’t see any Skype.exe processes in Windows Task Manager. If necessary, then stop these processes. Open this folder on your computer: C:\Program Files\Skype\Phone\ You should see there the Skype application file (Skype.exe). Right click on the Skype.exe file and select: Send to – Desktop (create shortcut). Right click on the newly created shortcut and select Properties and then the Shortcut tab. In the Target field you will see now: "C:\Program Files\Skype\Phone\Skype.exe" Click with your mouse on the text in the Target field and move your curser one space after the last quotation sign and add the text /legacylogin. The text in the Target field should now read: "C:\Program Files\Skype\Phone\Skype.exe" /legacylogin Click OK to save the changes. Start Skype using this new shortcut. Try now login to Skype?
